Encyclopedia > List of Swedish governments

This is a list of Swedish governments and rulers, from the end of the Kalmar Union until the breakthrough of parliamentarism.

The post of Prime Minister of Sweden was introduced in 1876 and continued to rise in importance until the breakthrough of parliamentarism in the 1910s. King Gustav V of Sweden acceded to the throne in 1907 and became the last king that tried to influence government politics in 1914. In 1921 universal suffrage was introduced and Sweden achieved full parliamentary democracy.

King of Sweden (342 words)
The present Bernadotte dynasty was established during the Napoleonic Wars through the Constitution of 1809 and the Act of Succession of 1810, in a bloodless Revolution after present day Finland, then the eastern half of the Realm, having been lost to Russia.
In 1974 a new Instrument of Government became part of the Constitution which abolished the Privy Council and stripped the Monarch of virtually all formal powers, less of being the Head of State.
The swedish monarch has even less power than the norwegian and danish ones, as he is not leading the meetings in the cabinet.
