Norwegian Constitution

The Norwegian Constitution, adopted in 1814, is the fundamental legal document governing Norway. It establishes the country as a constitutional monarchy, outlining the structure of government, the separation of powers, and the rights of citizens. This constitution is one of the oldest in the world still in use and serves as a framework for democracy, promoting principles such as human rights, equality, and rule of law. Significant amendments have been made over the years to reflect changing values and needs, solidifying Norway’s commitment to a modern, democratic society.
