The Indian Councils Act of 1861 lasted for 31 years until 1892. The Indian Councils Act of 1892 lasted for 17 years until 1909. The Indian Councils Act of 1909, also known as the Morley-Minto Reforms, lasted for only 10 years before it was replaced by the Government of India Act of 1919. The Government of India Act of 1919 lasted for 16 years until the Government of India Act of 1935 was enacted. Since the 1909 Act had the shortest lifespan of just 10 years, it is considered the most short-lived of the constitutional experiments listed.
