The Purpose Of The Australian Constitution

On 1st of January 1901, the Commonwealth of Australia was formed when six partly self-governing British colonies united to become states of a nation. The Australian Constitution was then created to treasure the rules of government for this new nation, which outlined how the Commonwealth government was to function and what issues it could pass laws on. Our nation is often referred to as ‘federation’ because the Constitution created a ‘federal’ system of government. Beneath the federal system, power was distributed between a central government and individual states. In Australia, power was divided between the Commonwealth government and the six states of government.
