Answer 1

Members to be directly elected by the people of India

Explanation:

According to the Cabinet Mission Plan, the members of the Constituent Assembly were not to be directly elected by the people of India. Instead, they were to be elected by Provincial Legislative Assemblies. The Assembly consisted of 296 members from the provinces and 93 from the princely states. The Assembly had the freedom to frame the Constitution, but direct election by the people was not part of the process.
