The Australian Constitution states that the Federal Parliament is composed of three distinct parts. In addition to the Senate and the House of Representatives, which of the following is the third part of the Parliament?
- AThe Cabinet
- The King (represented by the Governor-General)Cevap
- CThe High Court of Australia
Cevap
The King (represented by the Governor-General) is the third part of the Australian Parliament, alongside the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The correct answer is correct because the Australian Constitution explicitly defines the Parliament as being composed of the King, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. Because Australia is a constitutional monarchy, the King is a formal part of the legislative process, though his duties are carried out by the Governor-General.
