However, it wasn't a desired arrangement in Norway. It's important to note that this union was distinct from the earlier union with Denmark. Unlike the Danish union, Sweden didn't govern Norway directly. Instead, the majority of governing authority resided in Norway. This meant that Norway retained its own constitution, establishing its independent institutions like the Storting (parliament) and a dedicated government. It was a significant step towards self-determination for Norway.
