Yes, it established the Estado Libre Asociado a cover name for Colony of the Unite States. Created by former governor Luis Munos Marin and aprooved by the United States Congress in 1952.

Answer 3

Ok, all the information the guys send you is right but miss one thing. The Constitution of PR is a translation of the US Constitution with some adaptation to the puertorrican people of that time (1952). Remember we are a commonwealth of the US, so this document need to accomplish that situation, that's why the US Congress accept that translation w the adaptions make by the local politics in that moment.

Answer 4

Yes we have a Constitution written / enacted in 1952.

* Luis A. Ferre - Governor of PR 1968-1972, senator, engineer, businessman, musician, arts collector, filantropist

* Jose Trias Monge - Lawyer, jurist, President of PR Supreme Court for many decades,

* Ernesto Ramos Antonini - Senator

The constitution is organized in a series of Articles, for more information check this website:
