Cevap

The Regulating Act of 1773 matches the creation of an Executive Council of four members and provision for a Supreme Court at Fort William. Pitt's India Act of 1784 matches the establishment of the Board of Control instituting dual control. The Charter Act of 1833 matches the elevation to Governor-General of India and centralization of legislative powers. The Government of India Act of 1858 matches the liquidation of Company rule, direct Crown rule, and creation of the Secretary of State for India.
Each colonial enactment is matched accurately to its fundamental statutory feature: the 1773 Act created the 4-member council and Supreme Court; the 1784 Act created the Board of Control; the 1833 Act created the post of Governor-General of India; and the 1858 Act transferred governance from the EIC to the British Crown under the Secretary of State.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Examine the provisions of the Regulating Act of 1773.
It established parliamentary control over the East India Company by instituting a 4-member council for the Governor-General of Bengal and establishing a Supreme Court at Calcutta.
This was the first statutory attempt by the British Parliament to regulate EIC affairs in India.
2
Identify the institutional framework created under Pitt's India Act of 1784.
It instituted the Board of Control for political administration while leaving commercial matters to the Court of Directors.
This established a system of joint ownership and dual administration.
3
Analyze the legislative consolidation under the Charter Act of 1833.
It transformed the Governor-General of Bengal into the Governor-General of India, depriving Bombay and Madras of their independent lawmaking powers.
This represented the height of legislative centralization during British rule.
4
Determine the constitutional transformation enacted by the Government of India Act of 1858.
It abolished East India Company rule and placed governance directly under the British Crown via a Cabinet minister (Secretary of State for India) assisted by a 15-member council.
This statutory shift occurred in the immediate aftermath of the Revolt of 1857.
