dc.description.abstract |
The introduction of the Universal Suffrage and the Executive Committee
system and the abolition of communal representations on the recommendations of the Donoughmore Commission was considered a distinct advance on
the existing constitution by a major section of the bourgeoisie, organized under
the leadership of the Ceylon National Congress formed in 1919, which was
at the beginning opposed to universal suffrage. These members showed their
inclination to collaborate with the rulers by the acceptance of universal
suffrage and by enthusiastic participation in the general elections in order
to use the State Council as a platform to press for further changes. Though
they aimed at self-government, the new constitution was a distinct advance
on the former and empowered them to undertake a great deal of constructive
work and to identify themselves closely with the people. |
