    The document outlines several British acts and laws that gradually increased control over the British East India Company's administration of India between 1773-1853: 1) Early acts established the authority of the British crown over the company and its territories in India. 2) Later acts ended the company's commercial monopoly, made the governor general directly responsible to the British crown, and opened civil service positions to all British subjects. 3) The acts of the 1830s-1850s further curtailed the company's influence by transferring control of India to the British crown, establishing direct British rule over India.
