Abstract

Even the political philosophies in history have been changed, but the Kingdom of Denmark has maintained the royal institutionas their head of state over a thousand years. The studies should be worked on the factors in the legitimate succession to the Danish Throne concerning legitimacy sources and legal instruments which are the foundation of security of the throne in each era. At the present time, the legitimate succession to the Danish Throne complies with the civil law pursuant to the Act which is a part of the Constitution of Denmark. In case of the amendment, the constitutional amendment procedures shall be adopted and the referendum shall be held to ensure the public's approval.
