The term "Dual Commonwealth" refers to a political arrangement where two distinct entities share a common allegiance or governance structure. This concept often applies to countries or regions that maintain their own local governments while being part of a larger federation or commonwealth. In the context of Australia and Canada, both nations are members of the British Commonwealth, which signifies their historical ties to the United Kingdom. Each country operates independently but shares certain legal and cultural connections, reflecting the dual nature of their governance and identity within the broader commonwealth framework.
