	Privy Council of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Swedish Senate, Senatus Regni Sueciae, originated as a council of Regional Magnates acting as advisers to the Monarch of the combined Realms of the Swedes (from 996, approximately).
		During the reign of Magnus I of Sweden (he was in fact the IInd) between 1275 and 1290 the meetings of the Senate became a permanent institution having the offices of Grand Master (Drots) or Chief Justice, Constable (Marsk) and Chancellor (Kansler) (who until the 1530s was always a Bishop).
		The King ruled from his Cabinet "in Council", that is he formed an ad hoc group of a couple of trusted relations, maybe a Senator or two, a few secretaries and whomever could be knowledgeable, to discuss a particular matter or group of matters.

		Sweden lost much with the abrupt cessation of such an inexhaustible fount of enterprise and energy; indications suggest that, in his latter years, Charles had begun to feel the need and value of repose.

	Parliamentary system (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A parliamentary system presupposes a multi-party form of government and clear differentiation between the head of government and the head of state.
		The Westminster System is a particular type of parliamentary system that developed out of parliamentary democracy as practised at Westminster in London and was promulgated as the dominant form of government throughout the British Empire, many of whose colonies, since gaining their independence, have become Commonwealth countries.
		In this model the head of state has considerable reserve powers which have been limited in practice by convention rather than explicit constitutional rule.
