Society of the Friends of Peasants The First cabinet of A. W. Moltke was the government of Denmark from 22 March 1848 to 16 November 1848. It was also referred to as the March Cabinet.

In March 1848, Copenhagen was full of rumours that Schleswig and Holstein had rebelled against Denmark, and the National Liberals took advantage of the situation by arranging protest demonstrations against King Frederick VII and his politics. On 21 March, King Frederick responded by dismissing his ministers and asking Carl Emil Bardenfleth to form a new government. Bardenfleth failed to reach a compromise with the National Liberals, however, and so did Peter Georg Bang whom the king had asked to take his place. On the morning of 22 March, the king begged Adam Wilhelm Moltke, the leader of the previous cabinet, to lead a government of responsible ministers, effectively ending the absolute monarchy. Moltke quickly managed to put a government together.

was named acting minister for the Duchies, however resigned on 24 March 1848, before the appointment was formalized.

It was replaced by the Cabinet of Moltke II on 15 November 1848.
