The analysis tracks how citizenship criteria and constitutional questions shaped inclusion and exclusion in different states, including the transition from civil rights toward Indigenous rights. It evaluates formal restrictions in colonial administration and later definitions by the Commonwealth, linking legal developments to gradual changes in rights.
