Abstract

The article discusses the development and formation of the parliamentary system, which is the basis of the governance system of the modern Australian Union. The authors disclosed the process of development and formation of the colony management bodies, which later became the management bodies of the federal subjects. The article also analyzes the regulatory legal acts that gradually approved the creation of key elements of a parliamentary form of government. So, the first bodies were only the unicameral Legislative Councils appointed by Great Britain, which were subsequently reformed into full-fledged bicameral parliaments. In the article, the author addresses the issue of creating an Executive Council, which over time was reorganized into the government of the colonies.
