The prime minister of Denmark is the head of government in the Kingdom of Denmark comprising the three constituent countries:Denmark,Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Before the creation of the modern office,the kingdom did not initially have a head of government separate from its head of state,namely the monarch,in whom the executive authority was vested. The Constitution of 1849 established a constitutional monarchy by limiting the powers of the monarch and creating the office of premierminister. The inaugural holder of the office was Adam Wilhelm Moltke.
The Conservative People's Party,also known as The Conservatives is a centre-right political party in Denmark. The party is a member of the International Democracy Union and the European People's Party.
The Folketing,also known as the Parliament of Denmark or the Danish Parliament in English,is the unicameral national legislature (parliament) of the Kingdom of Denmark—Denmark proper together with the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Established in 1849,until 1953 the Folketing was the lower house of a bicameral parliament,called the Rigsdag;the upper house was the Landsting. It meets in Christiansborg Palace,on the islet of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen.
The Constitutional Act of the Realm of Denmark,also known as the Constitutional Act of the Kingdom of Denmark,or simply the Constitution,is the constitution of the Kingdom of Denmark,applying equally in the Realm of Denmark:Denmark proper,Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The first democratic constitution was adopted in 1849,replacing the 1665 absolutist constitution. The current constitution is from 1953. The Constitutional Act has been changed a few times. The wording is general enough to still apply today.
The Landsting was the upper house of the Rigsdag,from 1849 until 1953,when the bicameral system was abolished in favour of unicameralism. The Landsting had powers equal to the Folketing,which made the two houses of parliament hard to distinguish.
Matilde is an alternate spelling of the name Matilda and may refer to:
The Danish Realm,officially the Kingdom of Denmark,or simply Denmark,is a sovereign state and refers to the area over which the Constitution of Denmark applies.

The relationship between the three parts of the Kingdom is known as The unity of the Realm.

The monarchy of Denmark is a constitutional institution and a historic office of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Kingdom includes Denmark proper and the autonomous territories of the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The Kingdom of Denmark was already consolidated in the 8th century,whose rulers are consistently referred to in Frankish sources as "kings". Under the rule of King Gudfred in 804 the Kingdom may have included all the major provinces of medieval Denmark.
