Are you insinuating the Canadians were responsible for that, ****wit?

As your comment indicates, Canadians aren't smart enough to pull something
like that off. Even if they were though, America would have the Canadian
military (Canada does have a military, right?...LOL) on it's knees in

about
two hours, so keep laughing. Sounds like you've chuckled yourself right
into a stupor.

Snap out of it.

Constitution of Sweden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Swedish Constitution consists of four basic laws (Swedish: grundlagar):


a.. The Instrument of Government (1974)
b.. The Act of Succession (1809)
c.. The Freedom of the Press Act (1766)
d.. The Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression (1991)
There is also a law on the working order of the Parliament with a special
status but which does not qualify as a "basic law":


a.. The Riksdag Act (1974)
To amend or to make a revision of a basic law, the Parliament needs to
approve the changes twice in two successive terms, with a general election
having been held in between.



Instrument of Government
The most important of the "basic laws" is The Instrument of Government or
Regeringsformen. It sets out the basic principles for political life in
Sweden defining rights and freedoms.
The Parliamentarian Instrument of Government of 1974 grants the power to
commission a Prime Minister to the Riksdag (Parliament) at the suggestion of
the Speaker of the Riksdag. The Prime Minister appoints members of Cabinet
including heads of ministries, totalling to approximately 20 members. The
Cabinet decides collectively in governmental matters after report of the
Head of Ministry in question. At least five Cabinet members are to be
present at the decission. In practice reports are written, and discussions
very rare, during the formal Cabinet meetings.

Remaining constitutional functions for The Head of State, i.e. the King,
include: heading the Council of State (the King plus the Cabinet), heading
the Council on Foreign Affairs, recognizing new Cabinets (in the Council of
State), and opening the Parliament's yearly session. The King is to be
continuously briefed on governmental issues - in the Council of State or
directly by the Prime Minister.


History
The first constitutional Instrument of Government was enacted in 1719,
marking the transition from Autocracy to Parliamentarism. Sweden's unbloody
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.
In Sweden the loss of virtually half the realm led to another unbloody
revolution, a new royal dynasty, and a new Instrument of Government of June
6, 1809, under which the King still played a central role in government,
however no more independent of the Privy Council. The King was free to
choose Councellors, but was bound to decide in governmental matters only in
presence of the Privy Council, or a subset thereof, and after report of the
Councellor responsible for the matter in question. The Councellor had to
countersign a royal decission, unless it was un-constitutional, whereby it
gained legal force. The Councellor was legally responsible for his advice,
and was obliged to note his dissension in case he didn't agree with the
King's decission. De jure this Constitution puts a considerable power on the
King; a power increasingly used to follow the Councellors' advice, and from
1917 to adhere to principles of Parliamentarism by chosing Councellors
possessing direct or indirect support from a majority of the Parliament.

After over 50 years of de facto Parliamentarism it was written into the
Instrument of Government of 1974 which, although technically adherent to
Constitutional monarchy, finally abolished the Privy Council.


Act of Succession
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.
Accordingly the current Act of Succession (Swedish: Successionsordningen) is
a treaty between the old Riksdag of the Estates and The House of Bernadotte
regulating the right to accede to the Swedish throne. In 1980 the old
principle of "agnatic primogeniture", which meant that the throne was
inherited by the eldest male child of the preceding monarch, was replaced by
the principle of full "cognatic primogeniture." This meant that the throne
will be inherited by the eldest child without regard to sex. Thereby
Princess Victoria of Sweden, the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustav of
Sweden, was created heir apparent to the Swedish throne over her younger
brother.



Freedom of expression
The other two acts defines the freedom of the press and other forms of
expression. They are separated into two separate laws mainly to maintain the
tradition of the Freedom of the Press Act or Tryckfrihetsförordningen from
1766. The Freedom of the Press Act has actually been changed several times
since its first incarnation. In 1772, 1810, 1812, 1949 and 1982.


Public access to governmental documents
In the 18th century, after over 40 years of mixed experiences with
Parliamentarism, Public access to governmental documents was one of the main
issues with the Freedom of the Press Act of 1766. Although the novelity was
put out of order 1772-1809, it has since remained central in the Swedish
mindset, seen as a forceful means against corruption and governmental
agencies' inequal treatment of the citizens, increasing the perceived
legitimacy of (local and central) government and politicians.


Lutheran State Church
In 1593, after 70 years of Reformation and Counter-Reformation in Sweden,
adherence to the Augsburg confession was decided and given constitutional
status at the Synode of Uppsala (Uppsala möte). References to Uppsala möte
has since then been worked into the "basic laws", notably the Act of
Succession.

Haha - well thats america for you - plenty of dumbasses :P


Please keep the stereotyping to a minimum...that is unless you would like us
Americans to typify France as a bunch of unwashed, pungent, elitist
snail-eating Socialists with poor drinking water, strange sexual
proclivities, sharper class distinctions, a history of arrogant aristocratic
inbreeding monarchy, and a far lower standard of living, due in no small
part of late to Chameleon Bonaparte's little oil deal with Saddam falling
thru...which clearly does not apply to everyone in France. The number of
dumbasses per capita is a GLOBAL demographic, spanning all social strata.
Factor in population growth and we can naturally see stupidity propagating
at a near-exponential rate...

Honi soit qui merde y pense...


No offence to anyone normal btw, just to drunken morons


Hey, I know Norm and Al. And no, they aren't living together. Only in France
;-) (and SF, Greenwich Village, Ogunquit, ME, and P-town which is south of
my position both literally and metaphorically). Normality is the idea of
consensus perpetuated by weak-minded, mediocre, insecure sheep who need to
feel like they're part of something larger than the limited scope of their
self-awareness. When you consider my above assertion, namely that most
people are indeed stupid (only the top 10% actually have any noteworthy
intellect, statistically speaking), then I guess it thus follows that
"normality" is pretty much dumb all over...and a little ugly on the side ;-)
Never mind SST. He's another "Nvidia Dude". He is an obsessive/compulsive,
shallow, insecure materialist with a melodramatic flair and a history of
cyclical abuse. I think his fat wife left him not too long ago as well. He
was told this would happen if he didn't take his meds and well, he didn't
take his meds and this happened. He's mostly ok while his dope supply lasts,
it's just been a little dry lately...
