The Constitution promotes a concept known as the 'Division of Powers' which essentially divides certain powers between the Commonwealth and state governments, and some powers are shared between them both. Those powers stated under section 51 are Commonwealth powers/matters, and those omitted are State matters.

Answering the question... The Constitution forbids States from implementing legislation that is primarily Commonwealth (or Federal) responsibility.

How can the constitution be ratified and what is the process involved in doing so?

The Constitution can be ratified through a process that involves approval by a majority of states. Once a proposed amendment is passed by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, it must be ratified by three-fourths of the states to become part of the Constitution. This process ensures that the amendment has widespread support across the country.
