Constitution 1814
The year 1814 was a turning point in Norwegian history. This year was the Danish-Norwegian Monarchy dissolving after nearly 400 years. Norway became an independent kingdom with its own constitution. When the year ended, Norway was in personal union with Sweden, with a common king, but with a high degree of autonomy, and with the freest state in the world at this time.
