Today is Denmark’s Birthday and we can thank King Frederick VII that signed the constitution of Denmark June 5th 1849.
The original constitution of Denmark was signed on June 5th 1849 by King Frederick VII. The event marked the country’s transition to constitutional monarchy, putting an end to the absolute monarchy that had been introduced in Denmark in 1660.
The Danish constitution has been written five times, in 1849, 1866, 1915, 1920 and 1953. No Danish constitution has ever been amended; each time, a new constitution replaced the existing constitution.
5th of June are Not an official National Day, but some have the day off, others have half day off and others it’s a normal day. But today we consider it like Denmark’s birthday.
So Happy Birthday Denmark.
