The Swedish Constitution is the fundamental legal framework that outlines the structure of the Swedish government and the rights of its citizens. It consists of four main laws: the Instrument of Government, the Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression, the Fundamental Law on the Right of Access to Official Documents, and the Act of Succession. These laws establish the principles of democracy, the rule of law, and the separation of powers. Adopted in 1809 and revised several times, the Swedish Constitution ensures that the government operates transparently and that citizens have access to information. It also protects individual rights and freedoms, promoting a fair and just society.
