Australia's constitution was decided by the Constitutional Convention which met in 1897 to develop a constitution for the proposed federation. One of the NSW delegates was Edmund Barton, who later became Australia's first Prime Minister. Discussion of the constitution commenced on 22 March 1897. After not being accepted by the states the first time, the amended Commonwealth Constitution was given Royal Assent on 9 July 1900. On 1 January 1901, federation of the colonies was achieved and the Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed.
