Explanation

The Constituent Assembly was constituted in November, 1946 under the scheme formulated by the Cabinet Mission Plan. The features of the scheme were:

1. The total strength of the Constituent Assembly was to be 389. Of these, 296 seats were to be allotted to the British India and 93 seats to the Princely States. Out of 296 seats allotted to the British India, 292 members were to be drawn from the eleven Governors’ Provinces and four from the four Chief Commissioners’ Provinces, one from each.

2. Each Province and Princely State (or group of states, in case of small states) were to be allotted seats in proportion to their respective population. Roughly, one seat was to be allotted for every million population.

3. Seats allocated to each British province were to be divided among the three principal communities—Muslims, Sikhs and general (all except Muslims and Sikhs), in proportion to their population.

4. The representatives of each community were to be elected by the members of that community in the Provincial Legislative Assembly and voting was to be by the method of proportional representation, by means of single transferable vote.

5. The representatives of the Princely States were to be nominated by the heads of the Princely States.
