	Riksdag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Under the new Instrument of Government (one of the four fundamental laws of the Constitution) enacted in 1974, that task was removed from the Monarch of Sweden and given to the Speaker of the Riksdag.
		This informal organization was modified in 1527 by the first modern Swedish king Gustav I to include representatives from all the four social estates: the nobility, the clergy, the bourgeoisie (propertied commoners in the towns such as merchants, tradesmen, lawyers, etc), and the peasantry (freehold yeoman farmers).
		Effectively, however, it did not become a parliament in the modern sense until parliamentary principles were established in the political system in Sweden, in the late 1910s.

	Sweden
		Under Gustav, Sweden became a hereditary monarchy in which the power of the nobles was circumscribed and that of the clergy subordinated to the state.
		Sweden concluded two treaties, one with Russia in 1809, ceding most of Finland and the Åland Islands, and another with France in 1810, by which a pro-Napoleonic policy was adopted.
		Important domestic events in Sweden were the death in 1950 of Gustav V, the accession of his eldest son as Gustav VI Adolph, the creation of a Social Democratic-Agrarian coalition government in 1951, and the development of strong inflationary pressures in the Swedish economy from 1951 to 1952.
