text: The Jones Act was passed in 1920 following World War I, after German U-boats sunk thousands of ships and continued to pose a threat to the U.S. Decades later, these submarines are no longer a threat, and the Jones Act has received substantial criticism from politicians in the continental U.S. and Puerto Rico as a hindrance of economic development for the island due to its high costs, as several studies have pointed out.
