 | | The Swedish parliament (Riksdag) stems from tribal courts (Ting) and the election of kings in the Viking age. |
 | | Swedish law, drawing on Germanic, Roman, and Anglo-American law, is neither as codified as in France and other countries determined by the Napoleonic Code, nor as dependent on judicial practice and precedents as in the United States. |
 | | Legislative and judicial institutions include, in addition to the Riksdag, the Supreme Court, the Supreme Administrative Court, the Labor Court, Commissions of Inquiry, the Law Council, District Courts and Courts of Appeal, the Chief Public Prosecutor, the Bar Association, and ombudsmen who oversee the application of laws with particular attention to abuses of authority. |
