The Australian Constitution, which came into effect on 1 January 1901, serves as the foundational legal document that established the Commonwealth of Australia.

The federal system created by the Constitution has profoundly shaped Australian politics, giving rise to ongoing debates about the balance of power, fiscal arrangements, and the role of the High Court in constitutional interpretation. At the core of the Constitution is the establishment of a federal parliamentary democracy under the Westminster system. Chapter I outlines the Parliament, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate, with the executive government drawn from the legislature. This reflects the Westminster tradition but is combined with a strong Senate, modelled in part on the American Senate, giving the states equal representation regardless of population. Chapter II vests executive power in the Governor-General as the representative of the Crown, though in practice executive authority is exercised by the Prime Minister and Cabinet under conventions of responsible government.
