Torkel Halvorsen Aschehoug
Torkel Halvorsen Aschehoug (27 June 1822 – 20 January 1909) was a prominent Norwegian philosopher of law, economist, and conservative politician. He was Professor of Jurisprudence, National Economics and Statistics at the Faculty of Law of the Royal Frederick University (1862–1889), and also served as the Dean of the Faculty of Law and the elected Chairman of the Collegium Academicum (the governing body of the university). He served as a Member of Parliament 1868–1892 and played a central role in the controversy surrounding the adoption of a parliamentary system in which the Cabinet was responsible to parliament instead of being merely appointed by the King. His major works include Norges offentlige ret and Norges nuværende statsforfatning.[1]
He was elected as a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1890 and received the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Olav in 1895.
