A New Division of Power
Nordin, Jonas LU
(2025)
p.244-249
- Abstract
- The Age of Liberty gave rise to a unique form of government in Sweden, the world’s first Freedom of the Press Act and civil rights. Beliefs that those in power should be loyal to the people not to God or the monarch, mark the beginning of profound social changes that took hold with the European Enlightenment.
