[Name of the institute]Delegates of the 1897 national convention on the high court's protection of state rights

Background

It was because of the 1897-98 Convention that elite opinion had firmed in support of the idea of the responsible government executive and a stronger national government. Edmund Barton who was leading the convention was a man who was so blunt nature wise. It was his strong preference on the basis of which he affirmed and presented the idea of the responsible government. Despite the arguments from the likes of the Richard Baker (SA) and J. W. Hackett (WA) this view was prevalent that the idea of the responsible government was not in align with the strong Senate and would end up the phenomenon of federalism. People like Alfred Deakin, Isaac Isaacs from Victoria and H. B. Higgins led the national cause.

In a nutshell, it can be said that one of the most common theme of the 1897 delegate was to show that constitution would act as guardian for the rights of the state and High Court in turn would act as the guide of the constitution. From the perspective of the business it can be iterated here that according to the 1897 delegates any type of bill can be amended or initiated by the Senate except for the bills of money (Pembroke, Thomson & Sarre, 2006, 67). This delegate presented the argument that the Senate should have right to reject the money bill only in cases of emergencies (Nauze, 2002, 234).
