The People’ s Guide to the Australian Constitution illustrates how, far from being an unchangeable, technical legal contract, the Australian Constitution gives people the power to participate in and decide the shape of government and the policies it adopts. Leading legal academics Rosalind Dixon and William Partlett shed light on what Governor-General John Kerr did not acknowledge about the Constitution when he dismissed the Whitlam government, the tension between Australia’ s Christian settler-colonial constitutional identity and the recognition of First Nations peoples, the advantages and risks of constitutional change and much more. At almost 125 years old, Australia’ s Constitution is one of the oldest in the world, and while this has brought stability, it also gives the Australian people an opportunity to participate in adapting it to changing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-tgrox\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 detail-label mui-style-tgrox\"\u003eAuthor: Rosalind Dixon and William Partlett\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-tgrox\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 detail-label mui-style-tgrox\"\u003ePublisher: \u003cspan\u003eUNSW Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-tgrox\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 detail-label mui-style-tgrox\"\u003eFormat:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-tgrox\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 detail-label mui-style-tgrox\"\u003ePages: 144\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-tgrox\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 detail-label mui-style-tgrox\"\u003ePublication Date:\u003cspan\u003e March 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-tgrox\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 detail-label mui-style-tgrox\"\u003eISBN:\u003cspan\u003e 9781761170515 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Distribution Services","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45573923995750,"sku":"9781761170515","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/5704\/1254\/files\/9781761170515.jpg?v=1777509623","url":"https:\/\/shop.naa.gov.au\/products\/the-peoples-guide-to-the-australian-constitution","provider":"National Archives Store ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
