The constitutional functions of the Riksdag are enumerated in the Instrument of Government (Regeringsformen), and its internal workings are specified in greater detail in the Riksdag Act (Riksdagsordningen).

- Riksdag

Depending on the constitution of the body concerned, "no confidence" may lead to the dismissal of the Council of Ministers or other position-holders and often the dissolution of most of the leadership of the executive branch.

- Motion of no confidence

The Riksdag can cast a vote of no confidence against any single cabinet minister (statsråd), thus forcing a resignation.

- Riksdag

Sweden had already enacted its 1809 Instrument of Government, which saw the division of power between the Riksdag, the king and the judiciary.

- Constitution

On 25 September 2018, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven was ousted after he lost a vote of no confidence in the Riksdag after an election was held on 9 September.

- Motion of no confidence

Confidence can be lost if the government loses a vote of no confidence or, depending on the country, loses a particularly important vote in parliament, such as vote on the budget.

- Constitution
The Old Parliament House on Riddarholmen was the seat of the Riksdag from 1833 to 1905.
