Download or read book The Australia Acts 1986 written by Anne Twomey and published by NSW Sesquicentenary of Responsible Government. This book was released on 2010 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australia Acts, one enacted in Australia and the other in the United Kingdom, are fundamental constitutional documents for Australia: they terminated the remaining constitutional links between the two countries. Negotiated behind closed doors, little has been known of their background and purpose.Using previously confidential documents, this book reveals what was intended, what was disputed and what was rejected. It analyses each provision, its background, objectives, drafting changes and its current operation. It also provides a close analysis of the power to enact the Australia Acts, the validity of the provisions and their impact on the Crown and Australia's independence.The book addresses fundamental historical, political and constitutional matters, such as:the current basis for Australian sovereignty and the binding nature of the Constitution the relationship between federalism and the Crownthe status of the Queen of Australia and whether there is also a separate Queen of each State, and the source of the power to amend Australia's constitutional documents and the limits on its exercise. It is also essential for those who need to ascertain the extent of State legislative power, including:the reach of the extra-territorial power of the States and whether a nexus is neededwhether the States can constitutionally entrench laws, such as a bill of rightswhy the States cannot abdicate or limit the scope of their legislative powerswhether the States can apply the Australia Acts with retrospective effect to validate defective State laws.

Download or read book The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia written by Nicholas Aroney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia examines the body of constitutional jurisprudence in an original and rigorous yet accessible way. It begins by exploring the historical and intellectual context of ideas surrounding the Constitution's inception, and closely examines its text, structure, principles and purposes in that light. The book then unpacks and critically analyses the High Court's interpretation of the Constitution in a manner that follows the Constitution's own logic and method of organisation. Each topic is defined through detailed reference to the existing case law, which is set out historically to facilitate an appreciation of the progressive development of constitutional doctrine since the Constitution came into force in 1901. The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia provides an engaging and distinctive treatment of this fundamental area of law. It is an excellent book for anyone seeking to understand the significance and interpretation of the Constitution.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Australian Constitution written by Cheryl Saunders and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutional law provides the legal framework for the Australian political and legal systems, and thus touches almost every aspect of Australian life. The Handbook offers a critical analysis of some of the most significant aspects of Australian constitutional arrangements, setting them against the historical, legal, political, and social contexts in which Australia's constitutional system has developed. It takes care to highlight the distinctive features of the Australian constitutional system by placing the Australian system, where possible, in global perspective. The chapters of the Handbook are arranged in seven thematically-grouped parts. The first, 'Foundations', deals with aspects of Australian history which have influenced constitutional arrangements. The second, 'Constitutional Domain', addresses the interaction between the constitution and other relevant legal systems and orders, including the common law, international law, and state constitutions. The third, 'Themes', identifies themes of special constitutional significance, including the legitimacy of the constitution, citizenship, and republicanism. The fourth, 'Practice and Process', deals with practical issues relevant to constitutional litigation, including the processes, techniques, and authority of the High Court of Australia. The final three parts deal with the structural building blocks of the Australian Constitutional system: 'Separation of Powers', 'Federalism', and the 'Protection of Rights.' Written by a team of experts drawn from academia and practice, the Handbook provides Australian and international readers alike with a reliable source of knowledge, understanding, and insight into the Australian Constitution.

Download or read book The Constitution of Western Australia written by Alan Fenna and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to, and enquiry into, the rules of Western Australia’s (WA) system of government. The WA Constitution is not well known or understood ― or even easy to identify ― and this book provides an essential guide. It brings academic expertise and careful scholarship to the exploration of sometimes complex constitutional issues in a way that will be invaluable for those with specialist interest in constitutional law and government while also being engaging and accessible for a wider audience. In doing so, it combines authorial expertise from constitutional law and political science — something essential to a well-rounded understanding of the simultaneously legal and political nature of a Constitution.
