Constitution of Norway Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

The Constitution of Norway was first adopted on May 17, 1814 by the Norwegian Constituent Assembly at Eidsvoll (a small town north of the country's capital, Christiania). The constitution was inspired by the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the French revolution in 1789 and the subsequent U.S. and French constitutions, and was one of Europe's most radical constitutions at that time. After a short war with neighbouring Sweden, Norway was forced to enter into a personal union with Sweden and amend its constitution accordingly November 4, 1814. Those amendments were revoked after the dissolution of the ninety-one-year-old union — the beginning of modern Norway's independence — 7 June 1905. Several other amendments have been adopted since 1814, the most recent on 27 June, 2003.
