What is needed for the Constitution (grundloven) to be changed?
In the exam (Danish)
Hvad skal der til, for at grundloven kan blive ændret?
- aThe Supreme Court approves the change, and then the monarch signs it without a vote.Højesteret godkender ændringen, og derefter skriver monarken under uden afstemning.
- bA two-thirds majority in the Folketing votes for the change in a single vote.Et flertal på to tredjedele i Folketinget stemmer for ændringen ved én afstemning.
- cThe Folketing passes it twice with an election in between, and then there is a referendum.Folketinget vedtager den to gange med et valg imellem, og så er der folkeafstemning.Correct answer
Why?
The Folketing (the Danish Parliament, Folketinget) must pass the change, then there must be an election, and the new Folketing must pass it again. After that, a majority of those who vote, and at least 40% of all voters, must say yes in a referendum (folkeafstemning) before the monarch can sign it.
