Acts Nos. 1396 And 1397

This volume contains two significant pieces of legislation enacted in the Philippines on September 14, 1905: Act No. 1396, known as 'The Special Provincial Government Act,' and Act No. 1397, 'The Township Government Act.' These Acts represent key components of the colonial administration implemented by the United States government in the Philippines during the early 20th century. 'The Special Provincial Government Act' likely addresses the organization and governance of specific provinces, possibly those requiring unique administrative structures due to social, economic, or political conditions. 'The Township Government Act' likely focuses on the establishment and regulation of local government units at the township level.These historical documents offer valuable insights into the legal and political framework established during the American colonial period and are essential resources for researchers studying Philippine history, law, and colonial administration.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
