Grundloven

Grundloven, or the Constitution of Denmark, is the fundamental legal document that outlines the structure of the Danish government and the rights of its citizens. Established in 1849, it sets forth the principles of democracy, the rule of law, and individual freedoms. It delineates the powers of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, ensuring a system of checks and balances. The Constitution also guarantees basic human rights, such as freedom of speech and religion. Grundloven serves as the foundation for Danish law and governance, reflecting the nation's commitment to democratic values and the protection of individual liberties.
