Cabinet Mission

The Constituent Assembly of India was partially elected to write the Constitution of India. Following India's independence from Great Britain in 1947, its members served as the nation's first Parliament. The members of the Constituent Assembly were elected by the provincial assemblies by a single, transferable vote system of proportional representation.

**Statement 1 is correct:** The Cabinet Mission (1946) recommended the establishment of a federal government in India with a weak centre controlling only defence, foreign affairs, and communications, and the provinces grouped into sections with autonomy in other matters. **Statement 2 is incorrect:** The Mission did not propose any changes in the powers of Indian courts; its purpose was to plan the constitutional framework for transfer of power, not judicial reforms. **Statement 3 is incorrect:** The Mission made no recommendation regarding the Indian Civil Services (ICS) or increasing Indian participation in it.
