The most profound influence and material source of the Constitution of India is the

  • A.Indian Independence Act, 1947
  • B.The Government of India Act, 1919
  • C.Government of India Act, 1935
  • D.Indian Councils Act, 1909

Answer: C

The answer is the Government of India Act, 1935.

About 250 provisions of the Constitution were taken from or modelled on the 1935 Act, including the federal scheme, the office of Governor, the judiciary, the public service commissions, emergency provisions and much administrative detail. That is why it is called the Constitution's main material source.

The Indian Independence Act, 1947 transferred power and set up the Constituent Assembly as a legislature, but supplied little of the Constitution's content. The Acts of 1919 and 1909 were earlier, more limited reforms.
