CAP 50.11

2. THE LEGISLATURE. The Union Legislature shall consist of two houses, viz.: The Central Assembly and the Senate, while for the provinces, one house viz. the Provincial Assembly should be sufficient.

(1) Election to both the Central and Provincial Assemblies shall be by direct ting on population basis. As adopted for the Constituent Assembly, for each million of population one member shall be elected to the Union Assembly while to the Provincial Assembly one member may be elected for each lakh of population. This will give approximately 300 members for the Union.

Election to the Senate will be on a different basis. It will be on principle adopted by the U.S.A. viz. each unit of the Union will be equally represented by having an equal number of members, and they will be selected by the legislature of the units respectively. Fifteen members from each unit may be adopted as the quota, so that if the Union has twenty units, there will be a house of 300 members.

(2) The period of sitting for the Assemblies both provincial and central will be three years. At the end of the period, they will be dissolved and fresh elections will take place.

The period of sitting for the Senate will also be three years but as in the constitution of the U.S.A., the house will be divided into three groups and these will be elected in rotation. In order that no member shall unless re-elected sit in the house for more than three years, only one-third the number shall be elected in the first. The second third shall be elected the second year and the remaining third in the third year. Thus each member will have equal term with another. There will be no bar to a member being re-elected.

(3) The passing of the laws (procedure) should be similar to that in force in either the British Parliament or the U.S.A. Congress, but in our opinion a bare majority is not sufficient. At least two-thirds of the country should be with the Govt. of the land and the laws should therefore receive the support of two-thirds of the house.
The Central Legislature shall enact laws in respect of All-India subjects only and the Provincial Legislatures shall have authority in respect of local matters only as determined in the Constitution of the Union. All other matters shall be dealt with by the Central Legislature
