Abstract
The study of historical figures is an important field of study in history. Sweden has produced prominent figures who played a significant role in shaping and influencing historical events. Among the most prominent of these was King Gustav III, a descendant of the venerable royal family. His father was King Adolf Frederick, and his mother was Queen Louisa Ullerika, sister of King Frederick the Great of Prussia. He became King of Sweden in 1771. In 1772, he staged a coup against Parliament and established a constitution that increased the power of the crown at the expense of Parliament. Working with a patriotic spirit to advance Sweden, he implemented sweeping internal reforms that encompassed all aspects of the state: financial, administrative, military, commercial, agricultural, industrial, architectural, cultural, and religious, as well as the judiciary and education.
In 1789, Gustav III amended the 1772 constitution, marking a turning point in Swedish political history. He issued the Law of Union and Security on February 17, 1789, granting the crown broad powers, making it almost absolute. In return, he abolished the privileges of the nobility, a move that was unforgivable to Sweden. They plotted to assassinate him, bringing to an end the most glorious era in Swedish history.
