Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act

The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, enacted in 1901, is the foundational legal document that establishes the framework for Australia's government. It outlines how power is divided between the federal government and the states, defines the roles of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, and sets out the rights and responsibilities of citizens. The Constitution also includes principles for law-making and governance, ensuring a democratic system. Importantly, it can be amended through a specific process, reflecting the evolving nature of the country’s governance while maintaining stability and continuity.
