Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: the Constituent Assembly was indirectly elected by provincial assemblies on a limited franchise, not adult suffrage. Statement 2 is wrong (indirect, not direct election). Statement 3 is wrong: it was overwhelmingly Congress-dominated, not genuinely multi-party. Statement 4 is correct: it worked through committees (Drafting, Union Powers, etc.). Hence 1 and 4 only.
