This second government of Governor of Puerto Rico Luis Muñoz Marín followed his reelection[1][2] after the enactment of the 1952 Commonwealth Constitution. In many ways it was a continuation of the previous government, with some changes in key positions such as the Secretary of Justice,[3] and decreased (but still supermajoritarian) control[4] of the Senate of Puerto Rico and House of Representatives of Puerto Rico by virtue of the expansion of the Legislative Assembly's chambers and the effects of Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution of Puerto Rico (1952).
