Question

What was said in the Cabinet Mission Plan about the division of power between the Federal Government and the Provinces?

Answer 1

There was to be a Federal Union made up of the British Provinces and Princely States. The Union Government would handle subjects like foreign affairs, defence, and communication. It would also have the power to collect the necessary funds for these responsibilities. The Union would have its own executive and legislature, with members elected by all the provinces. The provinces would have full control over all other subjects except for those under the Union's authority.
