Answer:
Both Assertion and Reason are true
Explanation:
Each community's delegates in the provincial legislative assembly were to be elected by members of that community, and voting was to be done by proportional representation with a single transferable vote. The princely states' representatives were to be chosen by the princely states' heads. As a result, it is apparent that the Constituent Assembly was to be a body that was to be partially elected and partly appointed. Furthermore, the members were to be elected indirectly by provincial assembly members, who were elected on a limited franchise. The Constituent Assembly intended to have a total of 389 members. British India was to receive 296 seats, while the Princely States would receive 93. The Constituent Assembly formed a number of committees to handle various aspects of the constitution-making process. Eight of them were important committees, while the rest were small committees.
