Sample question
A fictional Act allows a government minister to find a person guilty of an offence and impose a fine without a court hearing. Which principle is most directly breached?
  • Federalism
  • Representative government
  • The separation of judicial power
  • Majority rule
Show the worked answer

Answer: C

Determining guilt and imposing punishment is judicial power, which Chapter III reserves to courts. Giving it to a minister, part of the executive, breaches the separation of judicial power. Federalism concerns the Commonwealth–State division, representative government concerns elections, and majority rule concerns decision-making by numbers.
