Today. although twothirds of the articles have been amended. the chief features of the Constitution remain intact as the fundamental law of Norway. Mr. Speaker. the development of democratic thought in Norway. although rooted in ancient national traditions. was also influenced by the U.S. Constitution and by thousands of letters from the steady stream of Norwegian emigrants to the United States. A2404 I am proud that thousands of these emigrants came to my State of North Dakota. Census reports show there are more than 50.000 persons of Norwegian extraction in my State. Norway and the United States have many common ideals. based on a belief in the dignity of the individual.
