Boards and spine worn corners bumped edges chipped. All pamphlets have front wrapper but lack rear wrapper. Most pamphlets have evidence of previous center folds. Some foxing and tanning but usually due to offsetting from wrappers. Overall very good. A well-preserved collection of pamphlets covering a variety of Puerto Rican legal issues. In the early twentieth century Puerto Rico was in the process of transitioning from U.S. military rule to civilian government albeit limited popular at first following the passage of the Foraker Act or Organic Act in 1900. The United States created a House of Representatives appointed a governor and resident commissioner a non-voting member of the U.S. House and established a Supreme Court to bring Puerto Rico into alignment with the American judicial system. It was not until 1917 with the passage of the Jones- Shafroth Act that Puerto Ricans were granted American citizenship. Jones-Shafroth also established the Puerto Rican Senate a bill of rights and authorized election of the resident commissioner by popular vote. These pamphlets effectively capture part of the history of Puerto Rican officials creating their own government. Notably the earliest pamphlet deals with educating and accrediting lawyers; the others address medicine public education workers' compensation public utilities and banking. The banking pamphlets are from 1931-32 when Puerto Rico along with the rest of the world was in the midst of the Great Depression.
