Answer 1

Answer:

The IIbert Bill

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective of the bill was to give power to Indian judges and magistrates to try British offenders in criminal cases at the District level. British in Britain and India opposed this bill intensely, playing racial tensions.It was not passed because it enacted a more moderate measure which vested the power of trying Europeans to a Session Judge and a District Magistrate who might be an Indian.The Ilbert Bill was a bill formally introduced on 9 February 1883 during the Viceroyship of the Marquess of Ripon, which was drafted by Sir Courtenay Peregine Ilbert, the legal member of the Council of the Governor-General of India.
