Question

By which of the following acts was a bicameral legislature introduced in India at the centre level?

A.

Indian councils Act of 1861

B.

Regulating Act of 1773

C.

Government of India Act of 1919

D.

Government of India Act of 1935

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Government of India Act of 1919.
 The Government of India Act of 1919, also known as the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms, introduced a bicameral legislature at the central level in India. This act established the Central Legislative Assembly (lower house) and the Council of States (upper house).
 This was a significant step in the constitutional development of India, aiming to involve more Indians in governance and laying the foundation for a more representative form of government.
Information Booster:
Indian Councils Act of 1861: Introduced limited Indian representation in the legislative councils, but it did not establish a bicameral legislature.
Regulating Act of 1773: Was the first step towards centralizing administration in India, but it did not deal with the legislative structure.
Government of India Act of 1935: Expanded the concept of a bicameral legislature to the provinces and laid down a federal structure for India, but the initial introduction at the central level was by the 1919 Act.
