How does a bill become law in Denmark?

In Denmark, the process for a bill to become law involves the following steps within the country's constitutional monarchy:

• Legislative Passage: Proposed legislation must be passed by the Folketing, which is Denmark's unicameral legislature.12
• Royal Assent: Once passed by the Folketing, the act must be signed by the monarch, who serves as the ceremonial head of state.12
• Countersignature: To finalize the process and become law, the act must be countersigned by at least one cabinet member, acting upon the recommendation of the cabinet sitting as the Council of State.12

Additionally, the constitution of June 5, 1953, allows for popular referenda, which can be used to secure public approval for certain legislative matters.12
