\nThe statement that all internal threats were to be handled by the ally alone, with no help from the British, was NOT a feature of the Subsidiary Alliance system.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Subsidiary Alliance was a treaty system implemented by the British East India Company, primarily by Lord Wellesley, to bring Indian states under their control. Under this system, the Indian ruler had to accept British paramountcy and adhere to certain terms in exchange for protection.
\n<\/section>\n
\nA key provision of the Subsidiary Alliance was that the British promised to protect the allied state from *both* external aggression and internal rebellion. This provision for British assistance against internal threats was a crucial aspect that allowed the British to intervene in the internal affairs of the allied state and gradually undermine the ruler’s authority and control over his own subjects and army. Options A, C, and D correctly describe features of the Subsidiary Alliance: the British guaranteed protection from external threats (A), the ally had to pay for the British contingent (C), and the ally could not enter into treaties without British permission (D).
