Designed to make India a federal like America,including the princely states

The British thought that they could weaken Congress by including the princes who were conservative and traditionally loyal to the Raj
Princes refused to sign,worried they would lose their personal armies and would be forced to become more democratic

Feeling of self-government
Congress won the vast majority of seats and became drunk on power - refused to cooperate with the viceroy
