The Plan 3 June British Empire

 

The Plan 3 June British Empire

The "3 June Plan" (AD 1749; 16 November 1862; 1912; 15 November 1914) was a British government motion announced on 3 June 1947, proposing partition of British India into India and Pakistan (receiving them the title of dominion states) and the choice of allegiance of the princely states.

The Plan 3 June British Empire


Here's a more detailed breakdown:

As soon as the end of British rule of India was near, the British government – led by Viceroy Lord Mountbatten – knew it had to meet the increasing need for separate Muslim and Hindu nations.

• Key Points:

• Partition The plan conceded the idea of partitioning British India into two independent empires, India and Pakistan.

• Dominion Status Both India and Pakistan will be granted dominion status, that is, autonomy and sovereignty, including the power to decide upon their constitutions.

• Princely States: The plan provided that princely states would have the option to join either India or Pakistan on geographical proximity and people's choice.

Formalization of Partition 3 June Plan officially formally partitioned the Indian subcontinent, with the creation of two independent states.

Indian Independence Act: The plan was the basis of the Indian Independence Act, 1947, which granted official independence to India and Pakistan.

Transfer of Power: The scheme facilitated the transfer of power from British to Indian and Pakistani hands.

Consequences:

Division of Provinces: The plan resulted in division of provinces like Bengal and Punjab (the Muslim-majority dominated areas became the center of Pakistan).

Creation of Pakistan The plan resulted in the creation of Pakistan -- a combination of West Pakistan (now Pakistan) and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).

Partition- Related Violence: The partition itself was followed by a wave of violence and displacement as communities struggled to adjust to the new political situation.

Both the provinces of Punjab and Bengal were to be divided into two separate Boundary Commissions to erect lines for the boundaries of the two sections of each province, under the June 3rd Plan.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Partition of Provinces:

The plan (known as the Mountbatten Plan) also included partition of the Punjab and Bengal provinces of Muslim majority.

Boundary Commissions:

Separate Boundary Commissions would be set up to line up the boundaries of the two parts of the provinces once the partition decision had been made by the provincial legislatures.

Decision by Provincial Legislatures:

At issue were partition, a decision was to be taken by members of the provincial legislatures of Bengal and Punjab.

USA Etymology and History

  USA Etymology and History Use of the term "United States of America" in writing can be traced back to January 2, 1776. That is when Stephen Moylan, an aide in the Continental Army to General George Washington, wrote to Joseph Reed, aide-de-camp to Washington, asking to travel "with full and ample powers from the United States of America to Spain" in order to request aid in the Revolutionary War cause. The earliest known public use is an anonymous essay that was printed in the Williamsburg newspaper The Virginia Gazette on 6 April 1776. At some point on or after 11 June 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote "United States of America" in a preliminary draft of the Declaration of Independence, which was approved by the Second Continental Congress on 4 July 1776.

Judges continue to stonewall Trump policies even after US Supreme Court injunction restraints

  Judges continue to stonewall Trump policies even after US Supreme Court injunction restraints President Donald Trump hailed the U.S. Supreme Court's June 27 ruling restricting the power of federal judges to employ nationwide injunctions to halt his policies as "a monumental victory," but his legal triumph might be less clear-cut than it initially seemed. The Supreme Court ruling clipped the power of judges to grant so-called universal injunctions that are able to prevent the government from implementing a policy against anybody, anywhere throughout the whole country. The Trump administration indicated it would act quickly to appeal such injunctions. But the court's 6-3 conservative majority ruling included exceptions whereby federal judges could still issue broad rulings blocking significant aspects of the Republican president's agenda. In the brief period following the ruling, lower-court judges have already prevented Trump's asylum ban along the U....
