The correct answer is
Three year

The correct answer is Three year.

The Government of India Act, 1919, introduced significant changes to the Indian legislative system. A key feature was the establishment of a bicameral legislature, consisting of the Council of State and the Central Legislative Assembly. The Act stipulated the term of the Central Legislative Assembly, defining its lifespan. This term was specifically set at three years. This was a crucial aspect of the Act, affecting the frequency of elections and the overall political dynamics within the Indian legislative framework. Understanding the term length is vital for grasping the Act's impact on India's political development during this period. The short three-year term was intended to allow for relatively frequent elections and responsiveness to the changing political landscape, although it was ultimately seen as inadequate for addressing the demands of the burgeoning Indian nationalist movement.
