  • Constitutional Change In The Australian Constitution

    1733 Words  | 4 Pages

    A Constitution is a set of rules put in place to govern a country, by which the parliament, executive and judiciary must abide by in law making and administering justice. In many countries, these laws are easily changed, while in Australia, a referendum process must take place to alter the wording of the Constitution (Commonwealth of Australia, date unknown, South Australian Schools Constitutional Convention Committee 2001). Since the introduction of the Australian Constitution in January 1901, there have been sufficient proposals to alter and insert sections within the body to reflect the societal values of the day, ensuring the Constitution remains relevant to the Australian people. Although Constitutional reform can be made on a arrangement of matters, the latest protests on Indigenous recognition and racial references within the body of the Constitution has called into question the validity of racial inclusion, and whether amendments should be made to allow for recognition. This essay will focus on the necessity of these amendments and evaluate the likelihood of change through the process of referenda.

  • The Bill of Rights

    616 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the summer of 1787, delegates from the 13 states convened in Philadelphia and drafted a remarkable blueprint for self-government, the Constitution of the United States. The first draft set up a system of checks and balances that included a strong executive branch, a representative legislature and a federal judiciary. The Constitution was remarkable, but deeply flawed. For one thing, it did not include a specific declaration, or bill, of individual rights. It specified what the government could do but did not say what it could not do. For another, it did not apply to everyone. The "consent of the governed" meant propertied white men only. The Bill of Rights did not come from a desire to protect the liberties won in the American Revolution, but rather from a fear of the powers of the new federal government.

Undoubtedly, the idea of modernity is attributed to the notions of ‘tradition’. By breaking down these notions through concepts of progress, we are able to link ‘traditions’ and ‘modernity’, showing how advancements in ‘modernity’ were met with conflicts in ‘traditions’.

    The Australian constitution is a national legal document, enacted by the British government on the 1st of January 1901 as a part of Australia’s federation, it can be very difficult to change yet it requires constant renewal to keep up to date with today's society. As the Australian states and territories have the ability to create their own laws, the Constitution is employed to regulate them. Any state or territory law that is viewed to be in direct defiance of the constitution can be repealed and then is reviewed and examined via the High Court of Australia. If the High Court rules that the state's law is unconstitutional it will then be voided. Due to the fact, the constitution overlooks all the laws carried out by the Australian states and

  • The Change of the Division of Powers in Australia since 1901.

    1183 Words  | 3 Pages

    The decision for Australia to adopt the Federal system was on the principle of which the State’s governments wanted to keep their power. For this reason there was the separation of powers between the newly formed Commonwealth government and the existing State governments. At a constitutional level, there are rulings in which the powers are separated, these rulings due to disputes have slightly changed since 1901. These changes all fell towards the one government, the Commonwealth (Federal) government. However this was not just a landslide event, the Constitution of Australia set up this imbalance of powers between the Commonwealth and State governments. We will explore this further in the points discussed later in this essay.
