The ensuing period was marred by struggles between the Storting and Karl XIV Johan over the nature of the union.
The layout and buildings of modern Oslo – the Royal Palace, Karl Johans gate and the university – date from this period, whilst Johan Christian Dahl, the most distinguished Scandinavian landscape painter of his day, was instrumental in the moves to establish the National Gallery in Oslo in 1836.
By the mid-1880s, Sverdrup and his political allies had pretty much won the day, but a further bout of sabre-rattling between the supporters of Norwegian independence and the Swedish king, Oscar II (1872–1907), was necessary before both sides would accept a plebiscite.

 Main Street Architecture and Real Words vs. a “Living” Constitution
Frederik Stang who was the front general in fighting Sverdrup and defending what was called the “Stang system.” He would not have the Cabinet mixed with parliamentarians.
However, when he recommended that the Cabinet could be exactly so, he had hardly imagined that this opening would be used to end the very separation of powers between monarch and legislature that the impossibility of impeachment of the monarch himself was to prevent.
Although Sverdrup and his cronies were the real coup-makers, distorting what was established constitutional law at the time, and hardly anybody seriously seems to be considering this matter otherwise, what by historians are referred to as coup plans are those plans to counteract the rebels.

 Op-Ed
The Storting at the time, headed by Johan Sverdrup, the party leader of the Liberals, opened up the possibility of bringing the ruling government to the Court of Impeachment (Riksrett) through a resolution that withdrew the King’s right of veto in constitutional matters (1880).
The royal prerogative to appoint a government (even against the will of the majority of the Storting) was ended and Johan Sverdrup was finally asked, on 26 June, 1884, to head a new government.
This being decided by the new Liberal government, led by Sverdrup, claming to be a herald of free speech, infuriated Ibsen.

When the fight for parliamentarism was won, Venstre's leader Johan Sverdrup became the first Norwegian prime minister to be appointed on the basis of having the support of a majority in the Storting.

From this it's clear that "Sverdrup" was a grade name used by Rovelstad Bros. Also, I've seen (owned one) several mvts marked Johann Sverdrup that had dials marked Rovelstad Bros., so it's a safe bet that such mvts are not Franken watches.
A little research shows that Johann Sverdrup was quite a mover and shaker in Norway which was the country that the Rovelstad family immigrated from.
