Detailed Solution

Governors of Madras and Bombay giving more legislative power was not the essential feature of the charter act of 1833. The governor-general and his council were given vast powers. This council could legislate for the whole of India subject to the approval of the board of controllers.

"Government of India" and "Indian council" were first used to describe the generals who served as governor-administers.
