Explanation:

Both 1 and 2.

The Government of India Act, 1935, indeed proposed a scheme of federation. It envisioned a federal structure for India with a central government and provincial governments, along with princely states as a part of the federation.

The Act was also unanimously rejected by the Indian National Congress. The Congress opposed it on various grounds, including the continued dominance of the British in key aspects of governance and the lack of genuine autonomy for Indian provinces.
