The dismissal of Whitlam affected Australian society in 2 main ways. One is that it sparked a revival of the republican movement in Australia and two it reminded Australian's that we actually do have a constitution, that we are ultimately governed by the monarchy, and the executive powers of the country lie with the governor-general who is not voted in by public vote like the PM but by a suggestion from the PM which is than approved by the monarch, ie the Queen.
