days. It was called either by the Governor or by two-thirds of the members, if necessary on the prerequisite. The <i>President of the Assembly</i> was selected on the basis of seniority by age. The Assembly was permitted to deliberate and give its opinion on matters referred to it. The Governor or head of the French Indian administration assured the implementation of the decisions or opinions of the Assembly. The budget prepared by the Governor and his council was discussed and it was implemented by his order. In fact the Assembly and the Governor shared the initiative of incurring state expenditure. In short, the Assembly was nothing more than an approving body as the Head of French India was endowed with the power of overriding the decision or opinion of the Assembly. In reality, it could not take up or discuss matters which were not submitted before it, and from that point of view its scope was very restricted.<sup id="cite_ref-Geetha2008_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Geetha2008-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 99–101">: 99–101 </span></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Impact_of_Chandernagore_merger_into_Indian_Union">Impact of Chandernagore merger into Indian Union</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Representative_Assembly_of_French_India&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Impact of Chandernagore merger into Indian Union"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Chandernagore has been merged into Indian Union by a referendum held on 19 June 1949, where its people overwhelmingly voted for merger with India.
