Royal Right Of Disposal (Sweden)
The Royal Right of Disposal (Sweden) is an agreement between the Riksdag of Sweden and its monarch that places at the disposal of the latter the Swedish Crown palaces and the large Stockholm island of Djurgården. This right of disposal (''dispositionsrätt''), still in effect, was enacted during the period when the Swedish Constitution of 1809 was worked out, during which the king lost income and other powers. Properties thus placed at the disposal of the monarch are owned by the State, administered by the Office of the Steward (''Ståthållarämbetet'') of the Royal Court of Sweden, and managed by the National Property Board of Sweden, with the exception of Djurgården with Rosendal Palace, which is under special royal management (''Kungliga Djurgårdens Förvaltning''). It has been claimed that, through the Royal Right of Disposal, this part of the predemocratic monarchical system remains intact, despite the intention under the 1974 Instrument of Government that the Swedi ...

Instrument Of Government (1809)
The 1809 Instrument of Government (), adopted on 6 June 1809 by the Riksdag of the Estates and King Charles XIII, was the constitution of the Kingdom of Sweden from 1809 to the end of 1974. It came about as a result of the Coup of 1809, in which King Gustav IV Adolf was deposed. The promulgation of the constitution marks the point at which Sweden transitioned from the absolute monarchy of the Gustavian era (established by a previous coup in 1772) into a stable, constitutional monarchy adhering to the rule of law and significant civil liberties. Initially the Instrument only curtailed the powers of the king, who retained a significant role in politics, but over time the crown's powers were reduced still further by convention as Sweden developed into a full democracy. The 1809 Instrument was finally replaced altogether by the Instrument of Government of 1974, which formally enshrined democracy and the will and equality of the people, exercised through a unicameral pa ...

Rosendal Palace
Rosendal Palace () is a Swedish palace pavilion located on Djurgården, an island in central Stockholm. It was built between 1823 and 1827 for King Charles XIV John, the first Bernadotte king of Sweden. It was intended as an escape from the formalities of court life at the Royal Palace. Rosendal Palace was largely designed by Fredrik Blom, one of the leading architects of the time, who received a royal commission to draw and build the palace building after the original buildings burned down. Fredrik August Lidströmer, Stockholm's City Architect from 1818 to 1824, had been King Charles XIV's primary architect at the construction of the original Rosendal Palace.

1974 Instrument Of Government
The Basic Laws of Sweden () are the four constitutional laws of the Kingdom of Sweden that regulate the Swedish political system, acting in a similar manner to the constitutions of most countries. These four laws are: the Instrument of Government (), the Freedom of the Press Act (), the Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression () and the Act of Succession (). Together, they constitute a basic framework that stands above other laws and regulation, and also define which agreements are themselves above normal Swedish law. The Parliament Act () is usually considered to be halfway between a fundamental law and a normal law, with certain main chapters afforded similar protections as the fundamental laws while other additional chapters require only a simple parliamentary majority in order to be amended. To amend or to revise a fundamental law, the Riksdag needs to approve the changes twice in two successive terms with simple majorities, with a general election having been held in bet ...
