The Commonwealth of Australia was established by the Commonwealth Constitution on 1 January 1901. The Commonwealth is a federation of six States and two Territories. The legal relationship between the States and the Commonwealth is defined by the Commonwealth Constitution. Although the Territories are now self-governing, the Commonwealth can choose to override any Territory law if it so wishes. The Commonwealth Constitution can only be modified by referendum which requires an amendment to be passed by a majority of electors in a majority of the States and Territories. It has not been altered to any significant extent since it came into effect.
