The Selmer Cabinet governed Norway between 11 October 1880 and 1 March 1884. It was led by Christian Selmer. All but three of the cabinet's ministers were impeached after a dispute about whether or not the cabinet should be required to meet in the Storting.^[1] This decision effectively led to the introduction of parliamentarism in Norway.^[2] The impeachment of the Selmer Cabinet was also the last time a Norwegian politician was convicted after being impeached, as Prime Minister Abraham Berge was found not guilty after his 1926 impeachment.
