About this Unit
This unit builds upon the compulsory unit Constitutional Law, and provides a deeper and broader understanding of Australian constitutional law. It examines the constitutional aspects of Australian parliamentary democracy and citizenship, the constitutional powers of the Commonwealth Executive Government, constitutional issues relating to the raising and spending of government revenues and the complexities of the relationship between the Commonwealth and State as independent polities. The unit also examines the limited way in which the Australian Constitution operates to protect particular rights, liberties and freedoms.
