Question

• D. The people, other than lawyers, were rich and powerful

Answer 1

The correct option is C To get a diverse viewpoint from different types of people

Although the main task of the Constituent Assembly was to discuss the rules and laws drafted by the Drafting Committee, it had people from other professional backgrounds, apart from lawyers. This was to have diverse viewpoints from every field and to make sure that the constitution accomodated the vast diversity existing in our country.
