Changes introduced by british after the revolt of 1857

The Queen of Great Britain started ruling India directly. Earlier, it was East India Company which ruled over India.

The process of social reforms through legilation was largely scuttled. Interference in social and cultural issues of Indians was one of the reasons why war took place and so it made sense to leave the social practices of Indians alone.

British were surprised and afraid of the Hindu-Muslim unity in the war. From here onwards, they started an open policy of “Divide and Rule”.

The people of Awadh participated on a large scale in the revolt so they were declared “non-martial”. Most of the future recruitment to British Indian Army henceforth came from the wheat eating areas of larger Punjab region, NWFP and Nepali Gurkhas. Also, the ratio of Britishers to Indians in the Army was increased.

The British also gave up the policy of annexing princely states as this policy was one of the reasons for discontentment. However, it was made clear in no uncertain terms that princes ruled on the behalf of Queen and should not have any pretensions of sovereignty.

question: write a report analyzing through articles of confederation.

answer: the articles of confederation the united states constitution was written when the people feared strong government the new nation needed some kind of organization to hold states together to them fend off future attacks and make a stronger support system through the states and people the states bonded through a friendship that best served as a defense against a invasion and states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations the strengths were that the congress has the highest power in the nation because of   fear of monarchy congress had the sole power to declare war and assign treaties disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress and weaknesses were the lack of power given to congress the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws if a state did not support a federal law that state could simply ignore it congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade.

explanation: so like every argument they have strengths and weaknesses but in this case there were more weaknesses but they managed o get through it and make an agreement
