97 years ago today, an important amendment to the Constitution of the Kingdom of Norway was promulgated.
It was the first royal promulgation of a constitutional amendment as opposed to sanctioning or Royal Assent.
The amendment itself provided for this promulgation instead of the previous Royal Assent.
The amendment provided for Parliament becoming ultimately absolute also formally.
