Description

The Constitution – also known as Sweden’s fundamental laws – are special laws which regulate how Sweden shall be governed. The fundamental laws are designed to protect Sweden democracy and are therefore more difficult to amend than other laws. Sweden has 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. In addition, Sweden has a Riksdag Act which has an intermediate position between constitutional and ordinary law.
