It outlines that the 1919 Act gave some control over provincial administration to Indian ministers, while the 1935 Act made ministers supreme in their work under the governor. The governor had responsibilities like safeguarding rights and interests, and powers like issuing ordinances, vetoing bills, appointing commissions, suspending the constitution, and taking over administration. The governor's powers under the 1935 Act were substantial and meant to be exercised in practice.
