The November Constitution of Norway, in a 1920 reprint by Gröndahl & Sons, Christiania (Oslo). This constitution was approved in early November 1818, as the second version that year, mandating the transferral of Norway's throne to the King of Sweden, and establishing a personal union of the two countries. This followed Norway's military surrender to Sweden's army in August, 1814. The November Constitution remained Norway's constitution through the 1800s.
