Julikollveltingin fekk alstóran týdning fyri politisku viður-
skiftini í Føroyum.
SUMMARY
After the July revolution in France in 1830 the Danish government
decided to establish the assembly of the Estates of the Realm for the
various provinces. The Faroe Islands were not mentioned in the bill in
1831. Professor Schlegel, who was a member of the committee »De oplyste
Mænd«, requested the King in a private petition dated 18th August 1832 to
let the assembly system include the Faroe Islands. In the suggestion to the
meeting of the Ministers of State, dated 8th November 1833, the officials
advised against giving the Faroe Islands a special representation in the
assembly of the Estates of the Realm because they were only such a
small province without direct communication with Denmark
However, the result of the meeting of the Ministers of State was
that the King resolved that the Faroe Islands should be represented in
the assembly of the Estates of the Realm for the Danish Islands and
Iceland.
The resulution, which was made on rather a random basis, made the
Faroe Islands subject to the Danish political representative system. This
resolution is still in force.
