When did australians choose not to become a republic?

Constitutional monarchy vs Republic: the debate has been continuing in Australia for many years, and will probably continue for many more years. In an effort to settle the matter once and for all, a Constitutional Convention was held in Canberra in February 1998. During the two-week convention, a model for a republic was adopted, which was then presented to the public at a referendum on 6 November 1999. In the final count, the "no" votes led 54.87% to 45.13%. All six states voted against the proposal. Victoria held the narrowest margin of 50.16% to 49.84%.


Which delegates of the constitutional convention played a key role in determining representation by the states?

Did the Virginia Plan support slavery?

The Virginia Plan, presented at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, did not explicitly address the issue of slavery, but it implicitly supported it by counting enslaved individuals as part of the population for representation purposes. This meant that states with large enslaved populations, like Virginia, would gain more representation in Congress. However, the plan did not propose any specific protections or regulations regarding slavery itself. Ultimately, the issue of slavery was a contentious topic during the convention, leading to compromises that allowed it to persist in the new Constitution.
