In 1820 Dampe was sentenced to death because he had demanded the abolition of the Absolute monarchy and the introduction of a free constitution. His sentence was however changed to exile and imprisoned on the isle Ertholmene. In 1840 he was placed under housearrest, at Bornholm, after the abolition of exile as a form of punishment. He was granted amnesty in 1848 under the new King Frederick VII of Denmark. In 1849 the Constitution of Denmark was introduced.
