If these Ordinances contain any such deviation, they are to be submitted as
 speedily as possible to the Diet, accompanied with the Colonial Council's opinion
 thereon.

 The Colonial Council, without being called upon by Government, is entitled to
 give its opinion on the applicability of all Laws and Ordinances promulgated for the
 Kingdom of Denmark, and its opinion thereon shall in like manner be submitted to the
 Diet.

 The legislative authority thus invested in the King is, however, not to prevent the
 enacting of laws relating to matters treated upon in this paragraph, if the King and the
 Diet in the usual manner have agreed thereon.

 3.

 In all other matters than those mentioned in 2, the legislative power is to be
 exercised in the usual manner by the King and the Diet conjointly. Still the opinion of
 the Colonial Council is always to be taken, if no strong grounds necessitate an
 exception, before any law can be established in the Danish Westindia Possessions.

 The Colonial Council shall also be afforded opportunities to enable it timely to
 give its opinion on that part of the Budget which relates to the Westindia Possessions,
 so that the Colonial Council's opinion, if circumstances do not render it impossible,
 always previously is submitted.

 4.

 In very urgent cases, the Governor is authorized to issue provisionally
 regulations regarding such matters which, according to the nature thereof, come within
 the intention of 2 & 3. The constitutional treatment thereof will then take place in the
 Colonial Council at its next session, and as far as the case may be fit for adjustment, in
 accordance with 3, the Government will have, conformably with the prescribed
 manner of treating provisional laws, to lay it before the Diet at its first session, or if the
 Colonial Council has not been able timely to discuss the case, then at its second
 ordinary session, subsequent to the publication of the regulations.

 5.
 In the event of the Colonial Council finding cause to desire any alteration in the
laws or institutions of the Islands, or to complain about the manner in which the laws
are administered, or the institutions are managed, the Council can make
representations in writing to the Governor, or transmit to that functionary its memorial to
the King. Petitions or complaints from individuals must, on the other hand, be referred
to the King or the competent authorities, unless a member of the Colonial Council
adopts such petition as his own.
