Iceland would very much like a word about this. But your point in fair, maybe phrased a bit wrong.
- godelski 2y ago>> Please correct me but cite so I can learn more Wiki says > The current constitution was first instituted on 17 June 1944 when Iceland became a republic; since then, it has been amended seven times. The earliest date I even see in the wiki is 1849 which isn't even really on topic. The official document also says 1944[0] CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF ICELAND (No. 33, 17 June 1944, as amended 30 May 1984, 31 May 1991, 28 June 1995 and 24 June 1999) So I'm going to need that citation because I'm having a hard time verifying what you're saying.
