Australia's constitution was decided by the Constitutional Convention which met in 1897 to develop a constitution for the proposed federation. 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, the Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed, and the Australian Constitution was officially adopted.
