Constituent Assembly elections were held in Norway in 1814.[1] The elections were held in Christiania and the surrounding area in February, and in the rest of the country as news of the need for elections arrived.[1] However, in the two Northernmost Amts Nordlandene and Finnmarken in the far north of the country, the elections were not held until July and August, by which time the Assembly had finished its work.[1] As political parties were not officially established until 1884,[2] the 112 elected members were independents.[3]
The Constituent Assembly convened at Eidsvoll Manor to draw up the Constitution of Norway. The delegates were popularly dubbed the "Eidsvoll men" (Eidsvollsmennene). The new constitution was agreed on 16 May 1814, and signed and dated the following day. Elections to a second Constituent Assembly were held on 14 August.[1]
