The Constituent Assembly of India was elected to write the Constitution of India. Following India's independence from British Government in 1947, its members served as the nation's first Parliament....
In a democracy, its citizen enjoys not only the right of running the government of the country but also the privilege of framing its constitution. The Constituent Assembly means a Constitution making body, i.e. an assembly of people or a convention set up by the people of a country for the purpose of framing its constitution.
The idea of Constituent Assembly was implicit in the demand for Swaraj made by the Indian national congress as early as 1906. In 1936 the congress resolved that “the congress stands for a genuine democratic State in India, where power has been transferred to the people as a whole and the government is under their effective control. On March 15, 1946 Mr. Attlee, the labour Prime Minister categorically admitted the right of Indians to frame their own Constitution.
The British parliament passed the Indian Independence Act, 1947 in July of the same year. As per the Independence Act two independent dominions were created from August 15, 1947.
The constituent Assembly which was already been formed went into action as per Cabinet Mission Plan. Its total membership for the whole of India was 389 out of which 93 members were from the Princely States and 296 were elected from the British Indian Provinces
