Form of Leadership Head of state Queen Elizabeth II (England) Just a figurehead She does not run the country she signs laws approves elections commander-in-chief of the military.

Form of Leadership Governor General The prime minister selects someone to represent the Queen in Australia. This is necessary because the Queen lives in London!!!!

Type of Legislature Commonwealth Parliament-elected government that makes laws. Every 4 years, citizens vote for members 2 houses of the Commonwealth Parliament: House of Representatives Senate

Type of Legislature House of Representatives: Selects Prime Minister Australia is divided into areas called electorates people living in each electorate vote for a person to represent them in parliament. elected person becomes the MP of the House of Representatives for that area

Type of Legislature Senate: 76 members 12 people from each of the 6 states 2 people from each of the 2 territories

Role of the Citizen Democracy: voters choose the lawmakers 18 or over is required by law to vote. Citizens vote for members in Senate and House of Representatives. Voters do not vote for head of state (Queen) governor-general directly for the prime minister.

Role of the Citizen Australians enjoy many freedoms. freedom of religion, speech, job choice, travel, etc. Their level of freedom is similar to what people have in the United Kingdom & the United States.
