(b) That's wrong. 

You were asked to select the correct statement.

It is not correct to say that the various constitutions in Australia are largely ‘unwritten’ constitutions, as in the United Kingdom.  Australian constitutions are largely written in the form of enacted legislation. 

It is wrong to say that Australian governments can be broadly described as ‘republican’.  They are properly described as constitutional monarchies.

It is incorrect to say that the constitution of the Commonwealth was enacted by the Australian states at the time they agreed to form the Commonwealth.  The Commonwealth constitution was enacted by the parliament of Great Britain.

It is correct to say that, although constitutions are ‘foundational’ laws, it is possible for the relevant governments to amend them and change their provisions.

Give yourself no marks for this answer.
