Australian Constitutional Law

Australian Constitutional Law refers to the legal framework that establishes the principles and structures of the government in Australia. The Constitution, enacted in 1901, outlines the powers of the federal and state governments, the roles of the Parliament, the Executive, and the Judiciary, and protects certain rights. It ensures that laws are made within the framework set by the Constitution, maintaining the rule of law. Additionally, it provides mechanisms for disputes to be resolved, allowing for amendments and judicial interpretation, thus adapting to changing social and political contexts while preserving the core principles of governance.
