What does the fact about colonial laws before 1901 help explain in the context of Federation?
- ADifferent colonies governed key matters separately before Federation.Correct
- BAll colonies already had identical laws before Federation.
- CDefence, immigration, postage, trade and transport were not regulated before 1901.
- DOnly one colony made laws for all of Australia before 1901.
Because each Australian colony had its own laws on defence, immigration, postage, trade and transport before 1901, the fact shows that key matters were governed separately by different colonies before Federation.
