2. make the Governor of Bengal as the Governor-General of Bengal.

A
1, 2 and 3

B
1 and 2

C
2 and 3

D
1 and 3

Solution

The Regulating Act of 1773 act is of great constitutional importance as (a) it was the first step taken by the British Government to control and regulate the affairs of the East India Company in India; (b) it recognised, for the first time, the political and administrative functions of the Company; and (c) it laid the foundations of central administration in India. It designated the Governor of Bengal as the ‘Governor-General of Bengal’ and created an Executive Council of four members to assist him. The first such Governor-General was Lord Warren Hastings.
Question 2
1 / -0

Which of the following was/were the main feature(s) of the Government of India Act, 1919?
1. Introduction of separate electorates for Muslims.
2. Devolution of legislative authority by the Centre.
3. Expansion and reconstitution of Central and Provincial Legislatures.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

A
Only 2

B
1 and 3

C
Only 3

D
2 and 3

Solution

The government of India Act, 1919 relaxed the central control over the provinces by demarcating and separating the central and provincial subjects. The central and provincial legislatures were authorised to make laws on their respective list of subjects. However, the structure of government continued to be centralized and unitary. It further divided the provincial subjects into two parts—transferred and reserved. Introduction of separate electorates for Muslims was done by the Government of India Act of 1909. So only statements 2 and 3 are correct.
Question 3
1 / -0

The distribution of powers between the Centre and States in the Indian Constitution is based on the scheme provided in the _________.

A
Morley-Minto Reforms, 1909

B
Montague-Chelmsford Act, 1919.

C
Government of India Act, 1935

D
Indian Independence Act, 1947

Solution

The Government of India (GoI) Act of 1935 provided for a three-fold enumeration, viz., federal, provincial and concurrent. The present Constitution follows the scheme of this act for the distribution of powers between the Centre and States but with one difference, that is, under this act, the residuary powers were given neither to the federal legislature nor to the provincial legislature but to the governor-general of India. In this respect, India follows the Canadian precedent.
Question 4
1 / -0

Which of the following vested the Secretary of State for India with supreme control over the Government of India?

A
Pitt's India Act, 1784

B
Government of India Act, 1858

C
Indian Council Act, 1861

D
Morley-Minto Reforms, 1909

Solution

The Government of India Act of 1858 created a new office, Secretary of State for India, vested with complete authority and control over Indian administration. The secretary of state was a member of the British cabinet and was responsible ultimately to the British Parliament. It ended the system of double government by abolishing the Board of Control and Court of Directors.
Question 5
1 / -0

Consider the following with reference to the provisions of 'Government of India Act, 1935':
1. Establishment of an All-India Federation.
2. Provincial autonomy, with a Government responsible to an elected legislature.
3. Redistribution of provinces and the creation of two new provinces.
Which of these were embodied in the Government of India Act, 1935?

A
1, 2 and 3

B
1 and 2

C
2 and 3

D
1 and 3

Solution

The Government of India Act of 1935 provided for the establishment of an All-India Federation consisting of provinces and princely states as units. It abolished dyarchy in the provinces and introduced ‘provincial autonomy’ in its place. The provinces were allowed to act as autonomous units of administration in their defined spheres. It introduced bicameralism in six out of eleven provinces. Thus, the legislatures of Bengal, Bombay, Madras, Bihar, Assam and the United Provinces were made bicameral consisting of a legislative council (upper house) and a legislative assembly (lower house). So all the 3 statements are correct.
Question 6
1 / -0

Dyarchy was first introduced under _____.

A
Morley-Minto Reforms

B
Mont-Ford Reforms

C
Simon Commission Plan

D
Government of India Act, 1935

Solution

The Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms divided the provincial subjects into two parts—transferred and reserved. The transferred subjects were to be administered by the governor with the aid of ministers responsible to the Legislative Council. The reserved subjects, on the other hand, were to be administered by the governor and his executive council without being responsible to the Legislative Council. This dual scheme of governance was known as ‘dyarchy’—a term derived from the Greek word di-arche which means the double rule. However, this experiment was largely unsuccessful.
Question 7
1 / -0

A
The Charter Act of 1793

B
The Charter Act of 1813

C
The Charter Act of 1833

D
The Charter Act of 1853

Solution

The Charter Act of 1833 ended the activities of the East India Company as a commercial body, which became a purely administrative body thereafter. It provided that the company’s territories in India were held by it 'in trust for His Majesty, His heirs and successors’.
