Commonwealth legislation

Commonwealth legislation refers to laws made by the federal government of a country that is part of the Commonwealth of Nations, such as Australia or Canada. These laws set rules that apply across the entire country, covering areas like health, education, and transportation. They are created by the national parliament and have authority over states or provinces, which can also have their own laws. Commonwealth legislation ensures consistency and uniformity in important national issues, while still allowing regional governments to manage local matters.
