Chapter VIII of the Constitution of Australia information


Chapter VIII of the Constitution of Australia contains only section 128, which describes the constitutional referendum process required for amending the Constitution.

The amendment by referendum method described in the section was modelled on provisions in the Swiss Federal Constitution.[1] Its inclusion was influenced also by the Swiss method being present in the constitutions of several U.S. states at the time of federation.
