The Sir Hugh Clifford Constitution of 1922 was a significant constitutional reform in the British colony of Malaya, aimed at increasing local participation in governance. It allowed for the establishment of legislative councils in the Malayan states, which included both British officials and local representatives. However, the reforms were limited, as the Governor retained substantial powers, and the councils lacked full legislative authority. This constitution marked a step towards self-governance but also highlighted the challenges of balancing colonial rule with emerging nationalist sentiments.
