Constitution Day (Denmark)

Constitution Day is observed in Denmark on 5 June. The day honours the Constitution of Denmark, as both the first constitution of 1849 and the current constitution of 1953 were signed on this date of their respective years. Denmark is one of only a handful countries in the world not to have an official national day, but Constitution Day is sometimes considered the equivalent of such a day, and a day for celebrating Danish democracy.

The date
, 1849. Following the Danish Constituent Assembly of 1848 and 1849, the first constitution (which established Denmark as a constitutional monarchy) was signed by King Frederick VII on 5 June 1849. The constitution was completely rewritten in 1866, 1915 (when women's suffrage was introduced), and most recently in 1953, the latter two rewritings also on 5 June. 5 June is also Father's Day in Denmark. It was introduced in 1935, and until 1956 it fell on the second Sunday of November, placing it at the opposite end of the year from Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May. Father's Day was later moved to its current date since Constitution Day was a half-day off work. ==See also==
