The briefly independent kingdom whose Eidsvoll Constitution democratic boldness, Christian Frederik royal legitimacy, and Kiel Treaty forced union resistance made it the most sovereignty-conscious kingdom in early nineteenth-century Norway.
Kingdom of Norway — the briefly sovereign constitutional monarchy proclaimed at Eidsvoll on 17 May 1814 whose founding fathers, convened in the most consequential constitutional assembly in Norwegian history, drafted in a mere six weeks the most liberally advanced and most democratically inspired constitution in continental Europe at that moment, the Eidsvoll Constitution establishing popular sovereignty, separation of powers, and an elected Storting that made Norway the most constitutionally progressive state in northern Europe — a document so enduring and so fundamentally sound that it remains, with amendments, the Norwegian constitution to this day, the second oldest written constitution still in force in the world. Their Christian Frederik, the Danish prince who championed Norwegian independence against the Kiel Treaty's transfer of Norway from Denmark to Sweden, provided the most symbolically legitimate and most personally committed royal leadership the Norwegian independence movement could have found, his abdication after the Swedish military campaign of 1814 preserving the Eidsvoll Constitution within the new union and ensuring that Norway entered the Swedish union as the most constitutionally protected and most autonomously governed junior partner in the history of Scandinavian dynastic politics.
