Historical Context
Following on from the Statskupp, which ousted the republican government that came to power in the Winter Revolution, Zealandia was governed by a series of weak documents and political leaders, until, King Haakon fed up with inaction and bureaucracy, decided to write this constitution, which is considered to be absolutist in terms of the monarchy.
