Responsible Government and the Australian Constitution : A Government for a Sovereign People
This book looks at responsible government under the Australian Constitution.It undertakes a detailed examination of the history leading to the incorporation of responsible government into the Constitution, examining the political history and constitutional ideas which informed the framers’ views.It draws on this history to develop a theory of responsible government and explore its implications for the interpretation of the Constitution and the structure of modern government in Australia.The book fills a major gap in our knowledge of the intellectual background of the Australian Constitution by explaining the constitutional ideas that have shaped the text and structure of the Australian Constitution.It contributes to worldwide debates about constitutional interpretation by showing how rigorous use of history can lead to novel interpretations of constitutions without being tied to the 'dead hands of the founders'.

Executive Self-Government and the Constitution
Over the last 25 years, UK governments have faced a series of challenges and changes of an intensity almost unprecedented in peacetime: some thrust upon them, some of their own making.Developments whose impact on the executive's place in the constitution are analysed in this volume include the global financial crisis in 2007/08, the 1997 Labour Government's programme of constitutional reform, the unexpected referendum result on withdrawal from the EU in 2016, the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK's withdrawal from the EU in 2020, and the energy and cost of living crisis that followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.The volume's conception of the UK's executive government is of an autonomous actor within the constitution, endowed with significant discretion in relation to its own organisation and modes of operation.By examining how governments have responded to those developments--through the reform of executive institutions and their deployment of the essential governmental resources of people, money, laws, and information--, Executive Self-Government and the Constitution opens a window on the internal operations of the contemporary executive and permits an assessment of the resilience of its key constitutional characteristics. Building on the analysis of their original leading work The Executive in the Constitution (OUP 1999), Executive Self-Government and the Constitution assesses how the economic and political turbulence faced by successive governments since 1997 has affected its key constitutional features.

Could the federal government dismiss a state government?
No, the federal government cannot dismiss a state government. The U.S. Constitution establishes a system of federalism where both the federal and state governments have their own powers and responsibilities. While the federal government can intervene in state affairs under certain circumstances, such as in cases of a state government violating the Constitution, it cannot outright dismiss a state government. Each state government is elected by its citizens and operates independently within the framework of the Constitution.
-
Could the federal government remove a state government?
The federal government does not have the authority to remove a state government. The Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states, and the structure of the Constitution establishes a system of checks and balances that prevents any one branch of government from becoming too powerful. While the federal government can intervene in state affairs in certain circumstances, such as through the enforcement of federal laws or court orders, it cannot unilaterally remove a state government.

Can the Bundeswehr stage a coup against the government if the government violates the Basic Law?
No, the Bundeswehr, as the armed forces of Germany, is strictly bound by the principles of democracy and the rule of law outlined in the Basic Law. The Bundeswehr is not allowed to intervene in political matters or stage a coup against the government, even if the government were to violate the Basic Law. Any attempt by the military to overthrow the government would be unconstitutional and illegal. The German constitution places a strong emphasis on civilian control of the military to prevent such actions.

How are government, government faction, and opposition faction related?
The government, government faction, and opposition faction are all interconnected within a political system. The government is the ruling body that holds power and authority over a country, while the government faction consists of the political party or coalition in power. The opposition faction, on the other hand, is made up of political parties or groups that are not in power and serve as a check and balance to the government. These factions often engage in debate, negotiation, and conflict as they work to shape policies and decisions that impact the country.

Government by Referendum
Referendums are ubiquitous; from Brexit in the United Kingdom in 2016 to same-sex marriage in Australia in 2017 Why are referendums held at all? And when they are held, why are they won or lost? Moreover, what are the consequences of having referendums?Do they strengthen or weaken democracy? Are they mainly won or mainly lost or do they strengthen populist leaders? Or, are referendums a shield against demagogues and overeager politicians?Government by Referendum analyses why politicians sometime submit issues to the people Based on an historical analysis, but with an emphasis on the last two decades, the book shows that referendums often have been lost by powerful politicians.While sometimes used by autocrats, mechanisms of direct democracy have increasingly performed the function of democratic constitutional safeguards in developed democracies. -- .

Which law allows for the overthrow of the government?

Instead, democratic societies have legal and peaceful mechanisms for changing the government, such as elections, impeachment processes, and constitutional amendments. The rule of law and respect for democratic principles are fundamental to the functioning of a stable and just society.

Is the Bundeswehr allowed to stage a coup against the government if the government disregards the Basic Law?
No, the Bundeswehr is not allowed to stage a coup against the government, even if the government disregards the Basic Law. The German constitution, known as the Basic Law, explicitly prohibits the military from intervening in political matters and staging a coup. The Bundeswehr is a professional military force that is under civilian control, and its role is to defend the country and uphold the constitution, not to interfere in the political process. If the government were to disregard the Basic Law, there are legal and constitutional mechanisms in place for addressing such situations, but a military coup is not one of them.

Has the government failed?
It is subjective to determine whether the government has failed as it depends on individual perspectives and criteria for success. Some may argue that the government has failed in certain areas such as healthcare, education, or economic policies, while others may believe that the government has been successful in other aspects. It is important to critically evaluate the government's performance based on specific issues and outcomes to make an informed judgment.
