Discuss in what way trade monopoly of East India Company was weakened by different Charter Acts passed by the British Parliament. 10 marks

Mentor’s comment-

  • Set the context of the question first by discussing the coming of the East India Company and establishment of its monopoly in India.
  • In the body explain how different charter acts diluted the trade monopoly of EIC; Charter Act of 1793: It gave the East India Company a monopoly to trade with East only for a period of 20 years. The Charter Act of 1813; ended the trade monopoly of East India Company in India. Charter Act of 1833; It ended the monopoly in trade with China and the monopoly to trade in tea in India and so on. Discuss the overall impact.
  • Conclude on how the British policies ultimately diluted the monopoly of the Company.

      Hi Zulu
      Good introduction but need to summarise it.
      Start from Regulating Act of 1773 and also mention Pitt’s India Act of 1784.
      Rest of the answer is well written.
      Good conclusion.
      Underline keywords.
      Try to write all the four answers.
      Keep working hard.

      Rest of the answer is well written.

      Good conclusion.
