Which of the following acts passed during British rule introduced the principle of direct elections and bicameral legislature at the central level for the first time?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Government of India Act, 1935, introduced the principle of direct elections for the first time across provinces and established a bicameral federal legislature comprising the Council of State and the Federal Assembly. Earlier statutes like the Morley-Minto reforms of 1909 introduced indirect elections and communal representation, while the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms of 1919 established bicameralism only at the central level without universal direct voting mechanisms.
