Question

Give an example of a colonial law that was adopted by the framers of the Indian Constitution.

• A. Rowlatt Act, 1919
• B. Indian Councils Act, 1909
• C. Regulating Act, 1773
• D. Government of India Act, 1935

Answer 1

The correct option is D Government of India Act, 1935

The Indian Constitution adopted many institutional details and procedures from colonial laws like the Government of India Act, 1935. This act had been a milestone in the development of a responsible democratic government in India. However, the Act was replaced by the Constitution of India as soon as it was formally adopted.
