[3] During this government, the Puerto Rican people addressed via Puerto Rico Federal Relations Act of 1950's mechanism the creation of their own constitution, which was ratified and enacted in the latter months of the Muñoz Marín government, which reconfigured the system of government by creating the Puerto Rico Council of Secretaries and enlarged the Legislative Assembly's chambers.

After the Constitution got adopted in July 1952, this balance changed to: The Puerto Rican Cabinet was led by the Governor alone in this period.

A feature of this government is a reshuffle and recomposition of the Cabinet with the introduction of the Constitution of Puerto Rico in July 1952.

This involved changing names of offices, and a transition to the fully constitutional government of the Commonwealth.

The new cabinet is a continuation of the old, although positions were changed, split, or reshuffled with the new constitutional order.
