created by the constitution was radically democratic for the time. It provided the people with an elected parliament and freedom of speech. The powers of the head of state was greatly reduced. His absolute veto over laws was removed etc. In a Europe where almost all countries were ruled by absolute monarchs this was seen as radical. Any reduction of a king's power was seen as radical. Also the principle of dividing power between executive, legislature and courts was rare and one of the things inspired by the US and French systems.
373:. Swedish troops invaded Norway after diplomatic attempts to get Norway to accept a union had failed. Battles - allthought minor compared to the ones fought in the preceding napolionic war - were fought. In fact, it was the determined fighting spirit of the badly trained and equiped Norwegian Arme which allowed Norway to keep it's constitution and be an independent nation, as compared to the Swedish king original plan to add combine the two nations as one country.

Therefore I believe this subject would fit better in a more general presentation of the history of Norway, not as part of the history of the constitution. That aside, some of the text that was recently deleted may fit quite well, and might not be opposed if re-introduced. (By mistake I implied that the whole paragraph was irrelevant.) --

for the first time from the article, it looks very strange to call a constitution, that 25 years after the French revolution forbade entry of Jews into the realm, Radically
Democratic. By the way I am curious after reading the article. Since the constitution is written in ancient Danish, can you read it in the original? Regards,

Thanks to whoever's been contributing to this. It's very interesting to read. I came across it because I was looking at an article by one of the High Court's judges. I paste some notes below if they could be helpful going into the article. It's largely comparing Norway's approach to human rights to

Then you must add those facts in the article. None of what you wrote appears in the article and judging by the facts in the article alone, this sentence, which is repeated twice, looks wrong. As a
Norwegian you probably know all those facts, but for anyone who reads about the Norwegian constitution
479:
I should add that the sentence "It was considered one of the most radically democratic constitutions in the world at the time" that appear twice in the article does not look quite right after reading the article and the above statements. This article is part of the "translation of the week" project
467:
It is fundamentally undemocratic (literally, as in "not giving power to the people") as it is a monarchic constitution, not a republican one. France had a much different attitude towards monarchs. The constitution enumerates numerous privileges granted to the king, in particular in article 5: "The

The sentence is true. For people who equate republic with democracy and monarchy with dictatorship I guess it is difficult to grasp. If you take individual paragraphs and interpret them out of context or even in a different context you will always come to wrong conclutions. The political system

From the article: "It could be argued that Norway is possibly the only country to have a constitution written in a foreign language." This sentance does not seems very encyclopedic. I don't have any concrete examples to the contrary exept maybe the
Channel Islands. But I would like to see this

Americans. One correction though: there's a comment saying 'arguably Norway's constitution is the only one in a foreign language' - well India's constitution is in English. Does that count? They use English as the official language all over, but it's probably still "foreign".

Between a living and a mummified consitution, he prefers a compromise. The ECHR and the two 1966 UN Covenants were incorporated into
Norwegian law in 1999, below the constitution but above other law. ‘Only time will tell how the Norwegian courts are going to apply these

I agree, and much can be said on the history of the constitution. As I understand it, however, the changes in how religion or
Christianity is lectured in school is a result of the secularisation of society and growth of competing religions and ethoses

Try yourself - write "War Norway Sweden 1814" into Google, and you'll get several pages telling the truth. Or, seeing as you're a norwegian like me according to your userpage, try "Krig Norge 1814". Or visit the Armed Forces Museum

Hi, I read the constitution on wikisource and I find very little influence from the US or revolutionary France. The constitution is hardly particularly democratic either, it seems kind of standard for the times:
602:
Norway’s
Constitutional Court has probably struck down 30 pieces of legislation, and has not been terribly interventionist. It has been so on principles of compensation for compulsory acquisition of land.
475:
So, is there any justification in the claim that the constitution of Norway was inspired by US and France? What parts in that case? Are there any available sources that discuss this matter?
612:
But in 1997, the author was in a minority on a case which said criminal law should be used against a fascist party that talked about sterilising immigrant children in its constitution.
