A hypothesis is that the Norwegian Constitution was a closer possible model for liberal or democratic opposition in monarchies than the US presidential system. The conference will explore the emanation of knowledge of the Constitution as well as the understanding of how it worked in practice in all relevant countries, also including Latin America with its constitutional reforms. Possible influence can also be discussed in the light of different national post 1814 constitutional developments.
