Regeringsformen

Regeringsformen, or the Instrument of Government, is Sweden’s fundamental law that outlines how the country is governed. It defines the roles of the government, Parliament, and the King, as well as principles like democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Essentially, it sets the framework for how laws are made, how officials are appointed, and how power is distributed to ensure the country operates fairly and transparently. It’s a key document that guarantees Swedish citizens' rights and governs the functioning of the state.
