108. No earldoms, baronies, entailed estates, or heirlooms may
be created in future.
109. Every citizen of the State is, as a rule, equally bound,
for a certain time, to defend his Fatherland, whatever be his birth
or fortune. The application of this principle and the limitations it
is to undergo, also how far it is beneficial to the country that the
duty of serving in the army ceases at the age of twenty-five, shall
be left to the first ordinary Storthing to decide, after every
information has been obtained by a committee. In the meantime the
existing provisions shall continue in force.
110. Norway shall retain her own Bank and her own currency
and coinage, and these institutions shall be determined by law.
111. Norway has the right to have her own merchant flag.
Her naval flag shall be a union-flag.
112. If experience should show that any part of this
Constitution of the Kingdom of Norway requires to be altered, the proposal
therefore shall be submitted at the first ordinary Storthing after a
new election, and be published in print. But it is only one of the
ordinary Storthings after the next election which shall be entitled
to decide whether the proposed alteration should be made or not.
Such an alteration, however, must never be at variance with the
principles of this constitution, but must be rigidly restricted to such
modifications in particular provisions as do not change the spirit of
this constitution; and two-thirds of the Storthing must agree to such
an alteration.
