The Swedish Constitution consists of four fundamental laws: the Instrument of Government, the Act of Succession, the Freedom of the Press Act and the Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression. These establish among other things how parliament and government are to be appointed and how they function. The organisation and working procedures of the Riksdag are regulated in more detail in the Riksdag Act, which occupies an intermediate position between fundamental law and ordinary law.
The Constitution of Sweden reproduces the law texts in their entirety in English translation, as of 1 January 2011. It also contains an introduction describing the Swedish form of government and how it developed.
