Please let me know

Answer 1

A commonwealth like a state is responsible for its own funding. Any federal monies must be applied for by the state or commonwealth.

Answer 2

well actually the us dint have allot to do with it that was all conducted by puerto rican politicians at the time that ware looking to improve the economy so that in the future puerto rico could achieve its independence because before the commonwealth the economy was very bad  the only thing the federal gov did was approving the new commonwealth status and its new Constitution of self government( but still under rule of the federal gov)approved in 1952 by president  Harry  Truman  and Congress
