The Philippine Autonomy Act was passed by the US Congress on August 29, 1916. It is commonly known as the Jones Act, named after its proposer, Senator William A. Jones. In this preamble, the US formally promised the future independence of the Philippines for the first time. Most importantly, legislative power was given to the Filipino people, resulting in the establishment of a Filipino Senate and House of Representatives. However, executive power was still held by the American Governor-General, who retained veto power over laws passed by the Philippine Assembly.

1916年8月29日にアメリカ議会を通過したフィリピン自治法。一般には提案者ジョーンズWilliam A.Jones議員の名前をとってジョーンズ法で知られている。この前文のなかでアメリカは初めて公式に将来のフィリピン独立を約束した。最も重要な点は,立法権がフィリピン人に与えられたことであり,この結果,フィリピン人から成る上院・下院が設置された。だが,行政権はいぜんとしてアメリカ人総督が保持し,総督はフィリピン議会を通過した法律に対し拒否権を保持した。
