Description: A significant collection of constitutional documents detailing proposed governance structures for provincial administration during British India. The papers cover various aspects of governance including legislative council compositions, electoral systems with emphasis on separate electorates, financial committee formations, and the intricate relationships between elected members and nominated officials. The bilingual nature (French/English) of some documents suggests their potential use in broader administrative or diplomatic contexts.
