The Constitutional Autocracy principle was introduced by the Government of India Act of 1935. This act was the most elaborate act by the British Parliament. At the same time, it was the most complex document among the constitutional proposals prepared for India. In this act, the establishment of the Union of India, the federal judiciary, and the division of powers between the center and the states, etc., were arranged.
