The Basic Laws of Sweden are the four fundamental laws of the Kingdom of Sweden that regulate the Swedish political system, acting in a similar manner to the constitutions of most countries. These 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, define which agreements are themselves above normal Swedish law, but subordinate to the fundamental laws, namely the European Convention on Human Rights and several UN and EU treaties and conventions; the Parliament Act in 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. To amend or to revise a fundamental law, the Riksdag needs to approve the changes twice in two successive terms with qualified majorities, with a general election having been held in between.

The first vote can be replaced with a referendum. The most important of the fundamental laws is the Instrument of Government, it sets out the basic principles for political life in Sweden defining freedoms. The 1974 Instrument of Government grants the power to commission a prime minister to the Riksdag, at the nomination of the Speaker of the Riksdag, who following a vote in the Riksdag signs the letter of commission on behalf of the Riksdag; the prime minister is appointed when the majority of the Riksdag does not vote against the nominee, thus making it possible to form minority governments. The prime minister appoints members including heads of ministries; the government collectively decides on issues after hearing the report of the head of the ministry concerned. At least five members of the government need to be present for a decisional quorum to be made. In practice, reports are written and discussions rare during formal cabinet meetings. Constitutional functions for the head of state, i.e. the monarch, include heading the cabinet councils, heading the Council on Foreign Affairs, recognizing new cabinets, opening the annual session of the Riksdag.

The monarch is to be continuously briefed on governmental issues—in the Council of State or directly by the prime minister. The first constitutional Instrument of Government was enacted in 1719, marking the transition from autocracy to parliamentarism. Sweden's bloodless coup d'état of 1772 was legitimized by the Riksdag of the Estates in new versions of the Instrument of Government, Swedish Constitution of 1772 and the Union and Security Act from 1789, making the king a "constitutional autocrat"; when the ancient Swedish land in 1809 was split into two parts, the Grand Duchy of Finland was created as an autonomous part of the Russian Empire, this constitutional autocracy was well fitted for Finland and remained in force until Finland's independence in 1917. In Sweden, the loss of half the realm led to another bloodless revolution, a new royal dynasty, the Instrument of Government of 6 June 1809; the new Instrument of Government established a separation of powers between the executive branch and the legislative branch and gave the king and the Riksdag of the Estates joint power over legislation, with the king still playing a central role in government but no longer independently of the Privy Council.

The king was free to choose councillors, but was bound to decide on governmental matters only in presence of the Privy Council, or a subset thereof, after report of the councillor responsible for the matter in question. The councillor had to countersign a royal decision, unless it was unconstitutional, whereby it gained legal force; the councillor was responsible for his advice and was obliged to note his dissension in case he did not agree with the king's decision. This constitution put a considerable de jure power in the king, but, followed the councillors' advice. From 1917, the king adhered to principles of parliamentarism by choosing councillors possessing direct or indirect support from a majority of the Riksdag. After over fifty years of de facto parliamentarism, it was written into the Instrument of Government of 1974, although technically adherent to constitutional monarchy, created the Government of Sweden in its present constitutional form. In 2009, the Riksdag approved Proposition 2009/10:80, "A Reformed Constitution", making substantial amendments to the Instrument of Government, related acts.

The amendment modernized and simplified the text in general, strengthened several fundamental rights and freedoms. Protection against unfair discrimination was extended to include discrimination based on sexual orientation; the amendment affirmed the responsibility of public authorities to protect children's rights, to promote the preservation and development of ethnic minorities' culture and language, making special mention of the Sami people. It strengthens judicial powers to make it easier to determine whether new laws contravene the constitution or the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union; these amendments took effect on 1 January 2011. The other two acts define other forms of expression, they are separated into two separate laws to maintain the tradition of the Freedom of the Press Act
