I will at this stage refer to the Resolution passed by the Legislative Assembly of the Travancore-Cochin State–a Resolution which that body, elected on adult franchise, thought it fit to pass at this stage. The Resolution reads as follows :-“This Legislative Assembly of the United State of Travancore and Cochin, by virtue of its constituent powers hereby resolves:(1) that Travancore-Cochin State shall be one of the States in the Union of States, India, that is Bharat:(2) that a separate constitution for the Travancore-Cochin State is inconsistent with the aspirations of the people of the State and the status of the State as a Unit of the Indian Union;(3) that the provisions of the constitution for the governance of the State shall as far as possible be the same as those for the Units known as Provinces; and that the constitution of India framed by the Constituent Assembly of India shall be the Constitution which will apply to this State.”
