Several constitutional ways, such as the vote of no-confidence or the control by the Ombudsman, are presented and illustrated by examples of the arena of politics. Thereby, the author gives an introduction not only to the mere facts of the Swedish constitution concerning the governmental accountability in relation to parliament, but also his assessment of the (political) effect and results of the mentioned ways of control.
