Denmark became a constitutional monarchy by the signing of a new constitution on June 5, 1849.   

Constitution Day

Constitution Day in Denmark is observed on June 5 to commemorate the day that marked the signing of the Danish Constitution along with its four revised editions occurring on the same date. Since the closest thing Danes have to a national day is Constitution Day, it is honored in the full spirit of patriotism. June 5 marked the birth of Danish democracy and is celebrated annually with secular services, speeches by local politicians, the raising of the national flag, and church congregations, to name a few events happening throughout the country.  

History of Constitution Day

Constitution Day is a very special day for Denmark. After spending decades in an absolute monarchy, from 1660 to 1849, the first constitution was signed by King Frederick VII in 1849, which finally declared Denmark a constitutional monarchy — a system allowing room to exercise power within a prescribed legal framework only.

The constitution was revised for the first time in 1866 and then, after the women’s suffrage movement in 1915 when women were allowed to vote, the 1849 constitution went through another revision. A third revision took place in 1920 followed by the final version, signed in 1953, which is still followed without further updates. Since there is no process of amendment, the entire document of the constitution has to be updated at every new addition or extraction of the clauses.

Interestingly, almost all updates of the constitution have occurred on June 5, which adds more significance to the date. The most recent edition, after eliminating the Upper Chamber, has created a unicameral parliament. From permitting women to inherit the throne to decreasing the percentage of votes by women necessary to change the constitution (from 45% down to 40%), June 5 is one of the most important days to celebrate in Denmark.

Not entirely an official public holiday, shops and businesses are shut down after midday and workers get a half-day off. Political organizations and associations meet for secular services, the Dannebrog is hoisted in the sky, and the general public spends the day in collective merriment.

Møns Klint, Denmark

i tried to Google it but I couldn't find

what's an alderperson?

"Ellefolk" in Danish - usually translated as elves, but I don't believe that's an accurate translation. "Ellen" is the alder tree, and the alderfolk are known for living around alder trees.

The alderfolk consist of young maidens, young men, children, old crones, and a king. The young maidens and men are beautiful and fair from the front, but with backs like hollowed-out rotted tree trunks. They often try to seduce humans to enter the alder woods with them, or to join in their dancing. Humans who give in to them go mad and want nothing more than to return to the alderpeople.

The children are described as "green" (either in skin or clothing, the stories aren't always clear) and can be seen playing in fields, on hills, and at the edge of the forest. People may hear their laughter and song without ever seeing them.

The alder crone is an ugly and dangerous, but nurturing, matriarch with tits so long she has to throw them over her shoulders to not trip on them. In Danish folklore, she's the main target of the Wild Hunt, and there are many stories of people seeing the Huntsman carrying a dead crone or two by their hair.

The alder king is one of Denmark's ancient "lesser kings" (småkonger). Most lesser kings are people, like King Amlet or King Skjöldr. Some say the alder king was a human once too, or that he ruled alongside humans - but he is definitely not a human now. He's rarely seen, and when he is seen his appearance is usually indistinguishable from the Wild Hunt (except, of course, that the alder king never carries around a quarry of alder crones). The alder king on Møn is referred to as Klintekongen. The alder king on Stevns is referred to as Stevnskongen. I'm sure many more of them have individual names. They don't take kindly to other kings entering their domain, and have been known to obstruct the King of Denmark's tours around the land.

The alder crone and the alder king are always referred to in singular, even if there are dozens or hundreds of them. It's always "the alder king," never "an alder king."

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2010 I created two large acrylic paintings for the GeoCenter Møns Klint, Denmark. Here are some close-up sections of the first, a Cretaceous wide view including Mosasaurus, Plioplatecarpus, a giant squid, Anomotodon, and others.

En Route to Germany (No. 9)

Møns Klint is a 6 km stretch of limestone and chalk cliffs along the eastern coast of the Danish island of Møn in the Baltic Sea. Some of the cliffs fall a sheer 120 m to the sea below. The highest cliff is Dronningestolen [da], which is 128 m above sea level. The area around Møns Klint consists of woodlands, pastures, ponds and steep hills, including Aborrebjerg which, with a height of 143 m, is one of the highest points in Denmark. The cliffs and adjacent park are now protected as a nature reserve. Møns Klint receives around 250,000 visitors a year. There are clearly marked paths for walkers, riders and cyclists. The path along the cliff tops leads to steps down to the shore in several locations.

On 29 May 2007, close to the cliff tops, the GeoCenter Møns Klint was opened by Queen Margrethe. The geological museum with interactive computer displays and a variety of attractions for children traces the geological prehistory of Denmark and the formation of the chalk cliffs. The museum was designed by PLH Architects, the winners of an international design competition.
