The Sangola Treaty of 1750 was a landmark constitutional shift. It officially transferred real executive power from the Chhatrapati at Satara to the Peshwa at Pune. The Chhatrapati became a titular head, while the Peshwa was recognized as the supreme administrative and military leader of the Maratha state, centralizing the bureaucracy under the Peshwa’s direct control. ANSWER: (D) All of the above.

  1. The Sangola Treaty fundamentally reorganized the Maratha government by stripping the Chhatrapati of actual governing powers. Finalized in the presence of major sardars, it mandated the relocation of the central administrative machinery from Satara to Pune. Chhatrapati Ramaraja, by signing this document at Sangola, accepted a role as a symbolic figurehead. This transition formalized the Peshwa as the de facto sovereign ruler. While it streamlined decision-making for rapid expansion, it also transformed the state into a confederacy where regional chiefs began looking to the Peshwa, rather than the throne of Shivaji, for political legitimacy and direction.
