Answers
Answer:
In India, a Second Chamber was envisaged for the first time under the Montague Chelmsford Reforms proposals. The Government of India Act, 1919 accordingly, provided that the Indian Legislature shall consist of the Governor-General and the two chambers, namely the Council of State and the House of Assembly. The term of the Council was fixed at five years. Under the Government of India Act, 1935, however, the Council of State was made a continuous body, not subject to dissolution. The members were to hold their seats for nine years and one-third of them retiring at the end of every three years. But the scheme envisaged for the Second Chamber under the Government of India Act, 1935 never materialised because the provisions pertaining to the federal structure under the Act were never put into operation. As a result, the Second Chamber set up under the Government of India Act, 1919 continued to function till 1947.
