Danish Constitution

The Danish Constitution, adopted in 1849, is the fundamental legal document that outlines the structure of Denmark's government and the rights of its citizens. It established Denmark as a constitutional monarchy, balancing powers among the monarch, parliament (Folketing), and judiciary. The Constitution guarantees various civil liberties, such as freedom of speech and religion, and ensures democratic governance through regular elections. It can be amended, reflecting Denmark’s commitment to adapt to changing societal needs while maintaining the rule of law and protecting individual rights. The Constitution is a cornerstone of Danish democracy and its political framework.
