See also:SVERDRUP, JOHAN (1816--1892) , See also:Norwegian statesman, was See also:born at Jarlsberg on the 3oth of See also:July 1816. His See also:father, See also:Jakob Sverdrup, was a See also:land steward, and the founder of the first school of See also:agriculture in See also:Norway. Johan entered the Storthing in 185o, sitting first for See also:Laurvik, and then for the See also:district of Akershus, and was its See also:president from 1871 to 1884, during the whole of the dispute over the See also:prerogative of the See also:Crown. He built up a strong See also:political party, which, relying for support chiefly on the Norwegian peasantry, was determined to secure strict constitutional See also:government and practically to destroy the See also:power of the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)

king. Under his leadership the opposition, in 1872, secured the passing of a See also:bill for the See also:admission of the ministers to the Storthing, which was a step to the See also:establishment of the dependence of the See also:cabinet on a See also:majority in that See also:assembly. King See also:Charles XV. refused his See also:sanction to this bill, and on its third passing in 188o Oscar IT. opposed his See also:veto, at the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time claiming his right to the See also:absolute veto. Sverdrup then proposed the See also:proclamation of the See also:law in See also:defiance of the king's See also:action. The
retirement of Frederik Stang removed Sverdrup's See also:chief political opponent from the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

field. He was aided in his See also:campaign by Bjornstjerne See also:Bjornson, and after a See also:series of political crises he became See also:prime See also:minister in See also:June 1884. But when he became prime minister he soon found himself at issue with Bjornson on See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church matters. Inspired chiefly by his See also:nephew Johan he secured the refusal of a See also:pension to the novelist Kielland because of his See also:anti-clerical views, and he further wished to give the See also:parish See also:councils the right to strike off the voting See also:list persons who had broken away from church discipline. Therefore, although during his See also:term of See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office no fewer than eighty-nine See also:measures, many of them involving useful reforms, became law, he failed to satisfy the extremists among his supporters, and was driven to rely on the moderate Liberals. He was compelled to retire in 1889, and died on the 17th of See also:February 1892 at See also:Christiania.
