Storting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (475 words)
As Norway became unified as a geopolitical entity in the 10th century the lagtings were established as superior regional assemblies.
The archaic regional assemblies, the Frostating, the Gulating and the Eidsivating were amalgamated and the corpus of law was setdown under the command of King Magnus Lagabøte during the mid 13th century.
The Storting's Presidium is chaired by the President of the Storting and consists of the Presidents and Vice Presidents of the Storting, the Lagting and the Odelsting.
Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2356 words)
After elections the Storting divides into two chambers, the Odelsting and the Lagting, which meet separately or jointly depending on the agenda.
Laws are proposed by the Odelsting and decided by the Lagting or, in case of disagreement, by the joint Storting.
Impeachment cases are raised by the Odelsting and judged by the Lagting as part of the High Court of the Realm.
