What is needed to change the Constitution?

In the exam (Danish)

Hvad skal der til for at ændre grundloven?

  1. aA majority in the Folketing must vote for it in three readings, and then it is adopted.Et flertal i Folketinget skal stemme for den ved tre behandlinger, og så er den vedtaget.
  2. bThe Folketing must pass it twice with an election in between, and then there must be a referendum.Folketinget skal vedtage den to gange med et valg imellem, og så skal der være en folkeafstemning.Correct answer
  3. cThe monarch and the prime minister must sign it, and then it applies from the same day.Regenten og statsministeren skal underskrive den, og så gælder den fra samme dag.

Why?

It is deliberately difficult to change the Constitution. The change must be passed by the Folketing both before and after a new election. After that, a majority in a referendum must vote yes, and the yes votes must be at least 40% of all voters.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Danish, as shown above.
