THE CONSTITUTION OF NORWAY
A. FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND RELIGION.
1. The kingdom of Norway shall be a free, independent,
indivisible and inalienable kingdom, united with Sweden under one King.
Its form of government shall be a limited and hereditary monarchy.
2. The Evangelical-Lutheran religion shall remain the public
religion of the State. The inhabitants professing it shall be required
to bring up their children in the same. Jesuits shall not be
tolerated.
B. THE EXECUTIVE POWER, THE KING, AND THE ROYAL FAMILY.
3. The Executive power shall be vested in the King.
4. The King shall always profess the Evangelical-Lutheran
religion, and maintain and protect the same.
5. The King’s person shall be sacred; he cannot be blamed or
accused. The responsibility shall rest upon his Council.
6. The order of succession shall be lineal and agnatic, as appointed
in the Order of Succession of the 26th of September 1810, passed
by the Estates of the kingdom of Sweden, and accepted by the King,
a translation of which is appended to this Constitution. Among those
entitled to the succession shall be reckoned also the child unborn,
who shall take his proper place in the line of succession the moment
he is born into the world after the death of his father.
When a Prince, entitled to succeed to the united crowns of
Norway and Sweden, is born, his name, and the time of his birth,
shall be notified to the first Storthing thereafter held, and entered
in the record of its proceedings[1].
7. If there is no Prince entitled to the succession, the King can
propose his successor to the Storthing of Norway at the same time as
[1] See Act of Union, sect. 2.
