Solution
Methods used by Early Nationalists were constitutional within the framework of law.
Explanation:
The Early Nationalists (the Moderates) relied on constitutional and peaceful methods, petitions, prayers, protests, meetings, the press, deputations to Britain, and avoided violence while working within the legal framework to press for reforms. They contrasted with the later Assertive/Extremist leaders, who were more aggressive and used swadeshi, boycott and non‑cooperation.
