Which democratic principle was challenged by Christian X during Easter Crisis?

  • Universal suffrage

  • Parliamentarianism

  • Freedom of speech

  • Separation of powers

Answer

Parliamentarianism is a principle in which parliaments have the power to make laws and control the executive. During the Easter Crisis, Christian X challenged this principle by refusing to sign the new constitution that had been passed by parliament. This led to a standoff between the king and parliament, and eventually the king was forced to back down.
