Government Layout

Norway has a very different government from United States. Norway has whats known as a constituional monarchy. A constitutional Monarchy, also known as a limited monarchy, is a monarchy that follows an established constitution. As a monarchy of course there is a King and Queen, as far as prince or princess, the first born child is the first in line for the thrown, along with their spouse. Prior to 1990 only the first born son was eligable for the crown. In 1990 it was added to the constitution that the first born child is eligable for the crown.  However, this is affective for prince or princesses born after 1990, there for the in current monarchy the first born son and his wife will  be the next king and queen even though the prince has an older sister. For military control the king has the sole power to declare war.

To pass a law in Norway you must first get people in public to vote for it. You then send it to the local representative who will introduce it in to parliment. Parliment then reads and votes on it. If the vote is no then the law is thrown out and can not be re-proposed for a year. If it is voted yes then parliment waits 3 days then reads and votes again. If the answer is still yes then it is sent to the king where the king votes yes or no. If the king says no it is thrown out, if the king says yes it goes back to parliment where it is enacted as a law. If in the second parliment vote the vote changes to no, then parliment waits 3 more days, then reads and votes on the law again, if yes it goes to the king and if no it is thrown out.
