– Article 3(a) states that Parliament may form a new State by separation of territory from any State or by uniting two or more States or parts of States or by uniting any territory to a part of any State.
– Article 3(b) states Parliament may increase the area of any State.
– Article 3(c) states Parliament may diminish the area of any State.
– Article 3(d) states Parliament may alter the boundaries of any State.
