Poland is already the member of EU since 2004. Both EU and Poland seem to be happy about that.
It didn't. Screw the EU!
Australia has never been part of The EU. It is not even in Europe.
No, Portugal was not an original EU member. It only joined in 1986, at the same time as Spain. This was 34 years after the EU had originally formed.

There is no "British constitution" in the sense of the American one where a group of people sat down and wrote it. The British constitution is a collection of documents from the Magna Carta to the EU's Declaration of Human Rights. The constitution has evolved from 1215, the signing of the Magna Carta.
In the UK a limitation is that the European Union (EU) has a higher amount of power than parliament as all laws from parliament have to agree with / not conflict with any laws made by the EU. This means that the parliament is no longer as supreme since the UK joined the EU
How does UK benefit for being in the EU? Participate in the EU economy (same currency) Free trade in the EU. (but there are other trade blocks) Free borders with EU countries inherit some laws from EU ( can be added to UK) make treaties for complete EU at one point, rather than individually country to country.
Before joining, new members of the EU must accept existing policies, laws, and values that the EU has. Source: "World Studies: Europe and Russia". This is my textbook for geography.
EU citizens have the same obligations that citizens of other regions have. They have to obey the laws of their country, and they have to report any unlawful activities in their communities.
Effectively much legislation now comes via the EU - as EU laws should apply to all member states. The UK has some exemptions. Our passport system is not the same as all of the EU and we have not yet adopted the Euro as a currency. EU legislation allows all EU citizens free travel throughout the EU. On a side note many in the UK want to leave the EU and consider it a pain in the neck!
Technically it is not part of the EU, but it does follow some EU laws and has a special status as an overseas territory of a member country and gets some of the benefits of full members. They can get financial aid for example.
There is no such thing as an EU citizen. Each country of the union has it's own laws and governance over citizenship.

They can openly trade across the world, set up new laws within the UK without EU approval, control immigration with differing control models, restrict entry to the UK
In theory, EU law overrides UK law. However, it is up to each constituent country to implement and enforce the laws. Should a nation not agree with the EU law, they can choose not to enforce it but they will get in hot water with the EU. A good example of this in the UK is parliament's refusal to give prisoners the right to vote.
the role of European union is to give harmonization of national laws in the EU
