Administration
Denmark is a constitutional and hereditary monarchy, governed under
a constitution of 1953. District councils of between 7 and 31 members,
headed by elected mayors, administer the approximately 275 municipalities
of Denmark.
The city of Copenhagen is administered by a 55-member city council
and by a smaller executive body. County councils headed by mayors
administer the 14 counties. The ministry of interior supervises
the counties, the city of Copenhagen, and the borough of Frederiksberg.
Local committees supervise the municipalities.
