Cabinet Mission Plan — Key Changes

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
Government of India Act 1935 (Reference)	1935	The Cabinet Mission Plan built upon and sought to modify the federal structure outlined in the Government of India Act 1935. While the 1935 Act envisioned a strong federal center with extensive powers, the Cabinet Mission Plan proposed a weak center controlling only three subjects, representing a significant departure from the earlier constitutional framework.	This contrast between the 1935 Act's strong federalism and the Cabinet Mission Plan's weak center model influenced debates during the Constituent Assembly and shaped India's eventual adoption of a strong federal structure with a powerful center, rejecting the Cabinet Mission's decentralized approach.
