Why were committee reports useful for the main debates of the Constituent Assembly?

They gave subject-wise study and suggestions

Correct answer: C. The Constituent Assembly had to deal with many complicated subjects, such as rights, government institutions, relations between different levels of government and safeguards for communities. Committees could study particular subjects carefully, collect arguments and prepare reports or recommendations. These reports gave the full Assembly an organised basis for discussion. Members could examine the proposals, suggest changes and decide after debate. Option A is wrong because committee reports supported informed debate instead of stopping it. Option B is wrong because committees helped the Assembly work; they did not end it. Option C is correct because subject-wise study made the large constitutional task manageable and systematic. Option D is wrong because committees were not created to remove rights; many discussions examined how rights should be protected. Memory cue: “committees prepared; the Assembly debated and decided.”
