Civil Disobedience Movement — Key Changes

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
N/A	N/A	The Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) itself was not about constitutional amendments in the traditional sense, as India did not have its own constitution at the time. Instead, it was a movement aimed at fundamentally altering the political status quo and forcing the British government to concede self-rule, which would inherently lead to a new constitutional framework for India.	While not directly amending a constitution, the CDM's pressure led to significant policy shifts and legislative considerations by the British. It directly influenced the discussions at the Round Table Conferences and contributed to the eventual enactment of the Government of India Act, 1935, which introduced provincial autonomy and laid some groundwork for a federal structure, though falling short of Purna Swaraj. The movement's demands also implicitly shaped the aspirations for fundamental rights in independent India's constitution.
