	Constitution of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Sweden's bloodless revolution of 1772 was legitimized by the Parliament in new versions of the Instrument of Government (in 1772 and 1789), making the King a "Constitutional Autocrat".
		When Sweden was split in 1809, and Finland was created as a Russian Grand duchy, this "Constitutional Autocracy" was very well fitted, and remained in force until Finland's independence in 1917.
		Sweden's switch from elective to hereditary monarchy in 1544 gave reason to Sweden's first law of constitutional character, in form of a treaty between the royal dynasty and the realm represented by the four Estates to be valid for all times.

	Referendum
		A referendum or plebiscite (plural; referendums or referenda, plebiscites) is a general poll on a legislative or constitutional issue.
		Referenda are a key measure in semi-direct democracy and the only measure in a pure direct democracy.
		For one, referenda may lead to inconsistent politics, such as increasing spending on certain issues while lowering taxation (both of which are likely to be favored by many voters).

		A referendum (plural: referendums or referenda) or plebiscite is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal.
		In Switzerland, for example, multiple choice referendums are common; two multiple choice referendums held in Sweden, in 1957 and 1980, offered voters a choice of three options; and in 1977 a referendum held in Australia to determine a new national anthem was held in which voters were presented with four choices.
		Since the introduction of parliamentary democracy six referendums have been held in Sweden: the first was on prohibition in 1922 and the most recent on euro membership in 2003.

	UK decision may sway Swedish voters to reject single Euro currency
		The country's nine million population is to vote on euro entry in a referendum in September, and polls show public opinion has slowly shifted in favour of keeping the krona.
		"Sweden is a small and open economy," said Jonas Frycklund, a spokesman for the Federation of Swedish Industries, a pro-euro trade group.
		But others remain critical of what the common currency could do to Sweden's economy, which is hinged, like Britain, in international trade inside and out of the EU.

		In looking at the negotiations with Austria, Sweden, Finland and Norway, it should be remembered that all the conditions favourable to a quick and successful completion of the negotiations with these four EFTA countries were present.
