Cevap: The King (represented by the Governor-General), the Senate, and the House of Representatives

Cevap

The Federal Parliament of Australia consists of the King (represented by the Governor-General), the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
The correct answer is the King (represented by the Governor-General), the Senate, and the House of Representatives because the Australian Constitution establishes a 'tricameral' system in a symbolic sense, where law-making requires the participation of the monarch's representative alongside the two elected houses.

1
Identify the primary legal document governing Australia's structure.
The Australian Constitution.
The Constitution explicitly defines the components of the Parliament.
2
Determine the role of the Monarch in the Australian system.
Australia is a constitutional monarchy.
This means the King (represented locally by the Governor-General) is part of the legislative process.

These are the two houses where bills are debated and passed before reaching the Governor-General.
