Answers
The Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms or more briefly known as Mont-Ford Reforms were reforms introduced by the colonial government in British India to introduce self-governing institutions gradually to India. The reforms take their name from Edwin Samuel Montagu, the Secretary of State for India during the latter parts of World War I and Lord Chelmsford, Viceroy of India between 1916 and 1921. The reforms were outlined in the Montagu-Chelmsford Report prepared in 1918 and formed the basis of the Government of India Act 1919.These are related to constitutional reforms. Indian nationalists considered that the reforms did not go far enough while British conservatives were critical of them.The important features of this act were as follows:
1.The Central Legislative Council was now to consist of two houses- The Imperial Legislative and the Council of States.
2.The provinces were to follow the Dual Government System or Dyarchy.
