Description
In 1856 South Australia had the secret ballot, votes for all adult men, and religious freedom, and in 1857 self-government by an elected parliament. The framework of a modern democracy was established. How did South Australia become so modern, so early? How were British institutions transformed, and why did the Colonial Office allow it?
