During the period of the Commonwealth, there will remain with the Government of the United States authority commensurate with and necessary for or appropriate to the ultimate responsibilities of sovereignty.

The members of the Convention are congratulated on the satisfactory completion of a task so important and significant in the life of their people.

In the event of ratification of this Constitution, the authority granted to the Commonwealth Government will permit exercise by the Filipino people of general control of their local affairs, subject only to a few important exceptions.

By virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by the act of June 25, 1910 (ch. 421, 36 Stat. 847), as amended by the act of August 24, 1912 (ch. 369, 37 Stat. 497), the Executive order of July 9, 1910, creating Coal Land…
