In Norway, it is often just referred to as Eidsvollsforsamlinga, which means The Assembly of Eidsvoll.

Famous quotes containing the word assembly:
“There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
