 | | The Australian Constitution was written as the legal foundation for this arrangement, and it became operative with the inauguration of the Commonwealth on 1 January 1901. | | | The term 'Federation' is often also used to refer to the series of historical steps or processes that took place in the 1890s which led to the inauguration of the Commonwealth. | | | The delegates who wrote Australia's Constitution were directly elected by the voters, and the Constitution was itself approved at a referendum in all of the colonies before it became a legal Act. |
