The distinctive feature of the Richards Constitution was most likely:
A. unofficial members in the Legislative Council
Here's why:
The Richards Constitution, enacted in 1946, was a significant step towards self-government in Nigeria.
A key feature was the introduction of unofficial members to the Legislative Council. These were Nigerian representatives, a novelty at the time, allowing for a greater Nigerian voice in government.
While the Council still had official members (D), a wholly Nigerian Council (B) wasn't established until later constitutions. Local councils (C) existed before Richards, though the constitution might have impacted their structure.
Therefore, the inclusion of unofficial members set the Richards Constitution apart.
