about
This week a listener from Norway (Tomas A. Tjomsland) asks President Jefferson to speak about the 17th of May (Syttende Mai) also known as Norwegian Constitution Day. In 2009 the Norwegian people mark the 195th anniversary of their independence. Norway had a peaceful revolution through a constitutional convention which declared Norway a free and indivisible kingdom. The constitution of the Kingdom of Norway proclaimed by the Constituent Assembly at Eidsvold on the 17th of May 1814 and read in part: "There shall be liberty of the Press. No person must be punished for any writing, whatever its contents may be, which he has caused to be printed or published, unless he willfully and manifestly has either himself shown or incited others to disobedience to the laws, contempt of religion or morality or the constitutional powers, or resistance to their orders, or has advanced false and defamatory accusations against any other person. Everyone shall be free to speak his mind frankly on the administration of the State or on any subject whatsoever." Thomas Jefferson comments on this declaration. He also speaks about the Sedition Act and answers a question from a beekeeper.
