Explanation:

• The total strength of the Constituent Assembly was to be 389.
• Of these, 296 seats were to be allotted to British India and 93 seats to the Princely States.
• Out of 296 seats allotted to the British India, 292 members were to be drawn from the eleven governors’ provinces and four from the four chief commissioners’ provinces, one from each.
• The representatives of princely states were to be nominated by the heads of the princely states.
• Hence, the Constituent Assembly was to be a partly elected and partly nominated body.
• Moreover, the members were to be indirectly elected by the members of the provincial assemblies, who themselves were elected on a limited franchise.
