Constitution of Denmark

The Constitution of Denmark, established in 1849, is the fundamental legal document that defines the country's political structure, rights, and freedoms. It outlines how the government is organized, ensuring a parliamentary democracy where elected representatives make decisions. The Constitution guarantees basic rights like freedom of speech, religion, and equality before the law. It also sets rules for the monarchy’s role, primarily symbolic, and specifies how laws are passed and how political power is balanced among branches. Overall, it serves as the highest legal authority, protecting citizens' rights and guiding Denmark's governance.
