the muslim league of india had, since the middle of twentieth century, demanded for a separate homeland on the basis of the two-nation theory. the british rulers realized that the hindus and muslims of india remained two separate and distinct nations and socio-cultural entities. the british rulers were left with no option but to eventually accept the demand of the muslims of india. on 3 june 1947, lord mountbatten, the last viceroy of india, called the conference of all the leaders of the sub-continent and communicated to them his government's plan for the transfer of power. at that time, a notification was issued in the "gazette of india", published on 26 july 1947 in which the first constituent assembly of pakistan was given shape with 69 members (later on the membership was increased to 79), including one female member. the state of pakistan was created under the independence act of 1947. the act made the existing constituent assemblies, the dominion legislatures. these assemblies were allowed to exercise all the powers which were formerly exercised by the central legislature, in addition to the powers regarding the framing of a new constitution, prior to which all territories were to be governed in accordance with the government of india act, 1935. the first session of the first constituent assembly of pakistan was held on 10 august 1947 at sindh assembly building in karachi. on 11 august 1947 muhammad ali jinnah was elected unanimously as the president of the constituent assembly of pakistan and the national flag was formally approved by the assembly. on 12 august 1947, a resolution was approved regarding officially addressing jinnah as "quaid-i-azam". on the same day, a special committee called the "committee on fundamental rights of citizens and minorities of pakistan" was appointed to look into and advise the assembly on matters relating to fundamental rights of the citizens, particularly the minorities, with the aim to legislate on these issues appropriately. on 14 august 1947, the transfer of power took place. lord mountbatten, governor general of india, addressed the constituent assembly of pakistan. the quaid gave a reply to the address in the house, on which the principles of the state of pakistan were laid. on 15 august 1947, the quaid-i-azam was sworn in as the first governor general of pakistan. mian sir abdur rashid, chief justice of pakistan, administered the oath of office from him. the quaid remained in this position till his death on 11 september 1948.
