Answer
The Constitutional Crisis in Tasmania, successfully navigated by Lyons, arose from a conflict between the state parliament and the governor over the governor's dismissal of the Lyons government in 1934. Lyons' handling of the crisis demonstrated his political acumen and commitment to democratic principles, as he used legal challenges and public support to reinstate his government, ultimately resulting in constitutional changes that strengthened the power of the elected parliament.
