Answer 1

The Tydings-McDuffie Act established United States title to the Philippines and granted them independence in 1944.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tydings-McDuffie Act established united state title to the Philippines and established a unites states style government. The law granted independence to the Philippines in 1944 and classified Filipinos as noncitizen aliens, which limited their rights in the United States.

In response to Filipino activists, the 1934 law granted independence to the Philippines in 1944 and also classified them as noncitizen aliens. Before the law, Filipinos were citizens of a US territory and legally permitted to live and work in the United States.

The decision to grant eventual independence to the Philippines was driven by the United States' self-interest in maintaining naval bases in the region. However, the agreement also stripped Filipinos of the opportunity to work in the United States.
