88. The Supreme Court shall pronounce judgment in the last
instance. It may not consist of less than a Chief Justice and six
Assessors.
This paragraph, however, shall not prevent penal cases from
being, in accordance with the law, finally disposed of without the
assistance of the Supreme Court.
89. In time of peace, the Supreme Court, with two officers
of high rank, nominated by the King, shall be the court of second
and last instance in all such cases of military law as involve either
life or honour, or loss of liberty for a longer period than three
months.
90. Judgments of the Supreme Court can in no case be appealed
against or be submitted to revision.
91. No one can be appointed a member of the Supreme Court,
before he is thirty years of age.
E. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
92. To official posts in the State there may be appointed only
such Norwegian citizens as speak the language of the country, and
at the same time
a) Were either born in the kingdom of parents that were then
subjects of the State;
b) Or were born in foreign countries of Norwegian parents that
were not at the time subjects of another State;
c) Or have hereafter resided ten years in the kingdom;
d) Or have been naturalised by the Storthing.
Others, however, can be appointed as teachers at the university
and colleges, as medical officers, and as consuls in foreign places.
No one may be appointed as chief magistrate before he is
thirty years of age, or as burgomaster, subordinate judge, or foged
before he is twenty-five years of age.
Only such as profess the public religion of the State can be
members of the King’s Council. As to the other officers of the
State, the necessary provisions are to be laid down by law.
93. Norway shall not be liable for any other than her own
national debt.
94. Steps are to be taken by the first, or, if this is not
possible, by the second ordinary Storthing, for the publication of a new
general civil and criminal code [1]. In the meantime the laws of the
State now in operation will remain in force, in so far as they
are not at variance with this Constitution, or with the provisonal
ordinances that may be issued in the meantime.
The existing permanent taxes shall likewise continue until the
next Storthing.
