Riksdag
The Riksdag is the national assembly of Sweden, whose origins lie in the late medieval and early modern period. During the era of the Swedish Empire it brought together representatives of the realm to approve taxation, levies and major decisions of state. Accounts of the Swedish Empire treat it as a key element of the constitutional relationship between the crown and Swedish society.
