Explanation

The members of the Constituent Assembly were elected by the provincial Legislative Assemblies. This included both the provinces of British India and the princely states. The Assembly was not directly elected by the general public (the 'Public of India'), nor was it elected by the Union Legislature. Each provincial legislative assembly elected representatives through the single transferable vote system.
