Arthur Richards' constitution, established in 1947 for Nigeria, introduced a limited form of self-government and aimed to address ethnic diversity. It created a federal structure, dividing Nigeria into regions with significant autonomy, and established a bicameral legislature. The constitution also expanded the electorate, allowing for greater political participation among educated Nigerians. However, it was criticized for reinforcing regional divisions and not providing full independence.
