DENMARK.

The Berlingske Tidende publishes the project of
the new Danish Constitution. In its essential
points it is the same as the fundamental law of the
sth of June, 1849. It guarantees the same liberty
to the citizens, maintains the principle of universal
suffrage for the elections of the Folkething, and, as
regards the Landsthing, differs only in the manner
of voting the estimates and in the establishment of
an interval of two years between the ordinary
meetings of the Rigsdag.
The new Constitution consists of 98 Articles, of
which the following are the most important :

" Art. 40. The Rigsdag is to meet every two years on
the first Monday in October, unless the King should have
convoked it before that date.
" Art. 41. ,The seat of the Government is also the assem-
bling place of the Rigsdag. Under exceptional circum-
stances the King may convoke it in any other place in the
kingdom.

"Art. 42. The Rigsdag is inviolable. Any person attack-
ing its authority is culpable of high treason.
" Art. 43. Each of the Chambers has the right to propose
taws and to adopt them respectively.
" Art. 44. Each Chamber may present addresses to the

King.
" Art. 46. No tax can be imposed, mollified, or abolished,
except in virtue of a law, nor can any troops be levied, or
public debt be contracted, or any domain belonging to the
State be alienated without the passing of a special bill for
that purpose.
" Art. 47. In each ordinary session of the Rigsdag, as
soon as it meets, a bill on the estimates for the two follow-
ing years will be brought forward, with a statement of the
revenue and expenses of the State.
" Should the Landsthing and the Folkething not come
to an agreement as regards the finances, a mixed commis-
sion shall be appointed, consisting of 15 members of each
Chamber, to examine the points under dispute. The Presi-
dent of the Commission will have a casting vote.
" The King may refuse to sanction the augmentations
and the additions made by the Rigsdag to the project of
law of the finances, without the law itself being invali-
dated by that refusal.

" Art. 48. The taxes cannot be levied until the esti-
mates have been voted. No outlays can be made unless
provided for by the Budget.
" Art. 49. In urgent cases the King has the right, when
the Rigsdag is not assembled, to order outlays which have
not been authorised by the Chamber ; but the question
must first be discussed in a Council of Ministers, and
finally considered in a Council of State.

" Art. 53. No bill can become law until after a third
reading in the House.
" Art. 54. Any bill rejected by one of the Chambers
cannot be brought forward again before the same Chamber
in the same session.

" Art. 55. Any bill adopted by either Chamber is pre-
sented to the other in the form in which it has been voted.
Should the ()Hier Chamber not agree to the terms of the
bill, it will be returned, and a joint committee be formed to
settle the disputed points.
" Art. 58. The members of the Rigsdad are only bound
by their conscience and not by the instructions of their
electors.

"Articles 59 and following lay down the rules of the
Chambers. Each Chamber elects its own president. No
bill can be voted unless one-half of the number of members
are present and take part in the debate. Any member may
request a Ministerial explanation, with the consent of the
Chamber to which he belongs (Art. 64), and moot any
question of public interest. The sittings of the Chambers
are public, but the President has the right to order the
strangers' gallery to be cleared, should he deem it advisable
that the discuSsion should take place with closed doors.
"Art. 69. The "United Rigsdag consists of the ensemble
of the Folkething and Landsthing. It cannot adopt reso-
lutions, unless more than one-half of each Chamber are
present, and give:their vote. Its appoints it own president
and regulations.

"Art. 77 decrees trial by jury for criminal and political

offences,

"Art. 79 establishes liberty of conscience. All citizens may
worship God according to their own fashion, provided that
they do not offend morality or public order. No citizen is
bound to contribute to the support of a form of worship of
which he is not a member. No man (Art. 82) can be de-
prived.of his civil and political rights on the score of reli-
gion, or be exempted from the performance of his duties as
a citizen.

" Art. 83. Any person arrested must be tried within 24
hours after his arrest.

" The right of property is sacred (Arts. 84 and 85), as
also the domiciles of the citizens. No man's house may be
searched or his papers seized without the issue of a special
warrant from the competent authority, unless under such
exceptional cases as are defined by law.
" Art. 87.—Any person not able to support himself or his
family, and who has no one else to provide for him, has the
right to claim support from the State, on the condition,
however, of submitting to the rules prescribed by the law
on this point.

" Art. 88. Education is afforded gratuitously in the pub-
lia schools to children whose parents cannot afford to pay
for their teaching.
