Why was the work of the Drafting Committee decisive in the overall process of the Constituent Assembly?

Correct answer: Because it converted ideas into a systematic constitutional draft

Direct answer: C is correct. The Constituent Assembly generated ideas through speeches, debates and the work of several committees, but those ideas had to be organised into a coherent legal document. The Drafting Committee performed this connecting task. It examined proposals, arranged them into articles and sections, used clear constitutional language and prepared drafts for the Assembly to discuss and revise. Its work did not replace the Assembly’s authority: the Assembly debated the draft, suggested changes and finally adopted the Constitution. Option C is therefore correct because the committee transformed broad political principles and detailed suggestions into a structured constitutional text. A is wrong because the committee did not dissolve the Assembly. B is wrong because conducting elections was not its central function. D is wrong because the committee worked to establish self-government, not restore foreign rule. Memory cue: the Assembly discussed and decided; the Drafting Committee organised those decisions into document form.
