Australian Constitution

The Australian Constitution is the founding legal document for the country, established in 1901. It outlines how Australia’s government operates, including the roles of the Parliament, the Executive, and the Judiciary. The Constitution also defines the powers shared between the federal and state governments and provides rights and responsibilities for citizens. It establishes Australia as a federation, allowing states to maintain some autonomy while uniting under a national framework. Amendments can be made but require a national referendum, ensuring that changes reflect the will of the people.
