1848 Danish Constituent Assembly election
[1] Of the 158 seats in the Assembly, 114 were elected and 44 appointed by the King (of which 38 were from Denmark proper, five from Iceland and one from the Faroe Islands).An insurrection in Holstein together with the political mobilisation of the National Liberal Party in Copenhagen led to the new king Frederick VII installing a new cabinet including National Liberal members.Together with the royal appointees, right-wing candidates emerged as the largest group with 52–54 seats.Left-wing candidates (congregating around the Society of the Friends of Peasants) won 45–47 seats, centrists 42–44 and others 13–19.[2] A total of 51,775 votes were cast in the constituencies where elections were held, giving a turnout of 79.7%.
