About This Topic

The Constitution is the foundation of Australian government and law. Written in 1901, it sets out how power is divided, what rights citizens have, and how the government must operate. Many test questions relate directly to constitutional principles.

This question focuses on the practical workings of Australia's government and legal system. Consider how the relevant institution or law serves to protect citizens and maintain order. This question is at a moderate difficulty level, similar to what you can expect on the actual citizenship test. Understanding the reasoning behind the answer is key.

Study the concept of "the rule of law" as it applies to government. In Australia, even the government must follow the law. No person, including the Prime Minister, is above the legal system.
