How did N.G. Ranga describe the role of the members of the Constituen…

The correct answer is Option (1) → As their trustees and champions, trying their best to speak for them

Option (1) As their trustees and champions, trying their best to speak for them — Correct. Ranga said the masses could not come to the Assembly themselves, so the members sat as their trustees and champions and tried to speak for them.

Option (2) As their elected delegates, bound to carry out their instructions — Incorrect. Ranga did not call the members delegates bound by orders. He admitted most members did not belong to the masses at all.

Option (3) As leaders of their own communities, speaking for each separate group — Incorrect. Speaking for separate community groups is the community thinking that many members, like Pant, criticised. Ranga spoke of the masses as a whole.

Option (4) As servants of the State, whose loyalty stood above the masses — Incorrect. Loyalty centred on the State was G.B. Pant's idea of a citizen. Ranga saw the members as speakers for the masses.
