Answer:

The Platt Amendment of 1901 gave the US executive control over Cuba's constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Platt Amendment was an appendix added to the Constitution of Cuba in the period of the first American military occupation on the island (1899-1902) and which responded to the interests of the United States. Its most infamous aspects for Cubans were the American right to intervene militarily when their interests were in danger, the non-recognition of Isla de Pinos as part of Cuba and the imposition of the concession of Cuban bays for American coal bases. The Platt Amendment was repealed on May 29, 1934.
