Constitution of Norway[change | change source]

The front page of The Constitution of the Kingdom of Norway

The Constitution of Norway, known officially as The Constitution of the Kingdom of Norway, was created on 16 May and signed on 17 May 1814. It was made by the Norwegian Constituent Assembly at Eidsvoll. The date 17 May is Constitution Day in Norway and celebrates the constitution.

This constitution is known as one of the most free and democratic in the world. It is the fourth oldest written national constitution in Europe, after those of Poland, France (1791), and Spain (1812). It is also the second oldest working national constitution in the world, after the United States Constitution. In May 2014, the Norwegian parliament made the biggest changes since 1814, adding sections about human rights.
