- 3Att domstolarna bestämmer över riksdagenThat the courts decide over parliament
- ✓Att all offentlig makt utgår från folketThat all public power derives from the people
Correct answer: That all public power derives from the people
The first sentence of the constitution says that all public power proceeds from the people. The king lost his political duties, and since 1975 it is the Speaker who proposes a prime minister.
