	Riksdag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Riksdag or Sveriges Riksdag is the Parliament of Sweden.
		The Riksdag is a unicameral assembly with 349 members, which are publicly elected on a proportional basis to serve four year terms.
		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).

	History of the Riksdag - free-definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The precursor to the modern Riksdag was the Riksdag of the Estates or Ståndsriksdagen.
		From the second half of the 19th century, when the Riksdag was founded, until the early 20th century Swedish society underwent a number of fundamental changes that impacted on political system.
		The last time the King attempted to exercise political authority was in February, 1914 when King Gustav V delivered a speech to 30,000 Peasants, assembled on the yard of the Royal Castle in Stockholm, an action which precipitated the fall the incumbent liberal cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Karl Staaff.

		It is true that in the Riksdag of 1882 the commercial treaty with France was renewed, but since 1885 the protectionist party was prepared to begin the combat, and a duty on barley, which had been proposed in the Riksdag of the same year, was rejected by only a slight majority.
		In the Riksdag of 1887 there was a majority for protection in the Second Chamber, and in the first the majority against the tax was so small that the tax on barley would have triumphed in a combined meeting of the two chambers.
		The Riksdag of 1900, in addition to grants for the fortifications at Boden, in Norrbotten County, on the border of Russian controlled Finland, and other military objects, voted a considerable grant for an experimental mobilization, which fully exposed the defects and faults of the old system.
