During what was a turbulent year, Norway adopted its first constitution on the 17th of May 1814. It was in this year that Norway became independent from Denmark and entered a union with Sweden. The Union of the two countries lasted until the year 1905. The Norwegian Constitution is the oldest in Europe still being used. It has undergone several amendments, but has never been replaced with a new constitutional act. The purpose of this exhibition is to offer the Romanian public a general view over the most important political happenings of 1814, as well as presenting them with some of the key points of the Norwegian Constitution in its actual form |
