Summary:

Exploring how the people in a constitutional monarchy may choose to
institute a republic, this chronicle delves into republican
philosophy, the history and practicalities of constitutional change,
and the politics of popular debate. Featuring excerpts from
interviews with key Australian leaders, the text examines the
republican question from the perspectives of history, law, politics,
and social science. Offering a new way of thinking about the process
of constitutional change, this study puts popular choice—the hallmark
of democracy—back at center stage. This is a thoughtful, insightful,
and practical account of Australia’s political past and what
alterations will be necessary if Australia is to become a republic.
