Sweden: Political Classification
Number of pages:
7
ABSTRACT:
7 pages in length. The writer discusses how Sweden's government, Riksdagen, is a unicameral system that has been in existence since 1970, drawing its political power from being a parliamentary democratic monarchy with three hundred forty-nine members where the Head of State is the king, but he has no authority in the governing of the state. Parliament is responsible for passing laws, as well as controlling State incomes and expenditures. Unlike an autocratic dictatorship, Sweden's government cannot arbitrarily impose new taxes; rather, the existing laws, in conjunction with Parliament, have the combined necessitated for taxation with the working relationship between government and Riksdagen serving as the people's protective force against undemocratic increases. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
