1848–1901

The folketing (the lower house of danish rigsdag)election  in 1892 became a thiumph of the  reactionary ministry of Estrup. From the 210.000 of vioces the conservative party got 73.000 and thereby 31 mandates in the Folketing. “The moderate”, who supported the ministry, got 60.000 voices and 43 mandats. Speaking about the opposition patries, the radicals or “the left party of reformation”, how they are called in Denmark, got 47.000 voices and 26 mandates, and the social-democrates – 20.000 voices and 2 mandates.

Some days after king Christian X’ s death his successor Frederick VII announced a project of a constitution in a grand manner. It was  the 28 January 1848. The project supposed a general parliament for all areas of Denmark, that had to be gathered in turn in the kingdom and in the duchies. It was decided to call an assembly, halfly nominated by the king, halfly elected by the seim, to discuss the project. All that caused a great disapprobation and discontent in the country. The demand for a new constitution was categorically made: it had to be common for the whole Denmark up to Eider, isolating Holstein as a quite independent area.
