UPSC 2022: With reference to the proposals of Cripps Mission, consider the following statements: 1. The Constituent Assembly would have members nominated by the Provincial Assemblies as well as the Princely States. 2. Any Province, which is not prepared to accept the new Constitution would have the right to sign a separate agreement with Britain regarding its future status. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
Cripps proposed that a future Constituent Assembly would be ELECTED by provincial legislatures whereas princes would NOMINATE their representatives; thus statement 1 (members “nominated” by provincial assemblies) is incorrect. He also allowed any province that disapproved of the new Constitution to make a separate agreement with Britain, so statement 2 is correct. Therefore only statement 2 is true → option (b).
