Age of Liberty
The period from Charles XII's death in 1718 to Gustav III's coup d'etat in 1772 is mostly referred to as Frihetstiden (the "Age of Liberty"), representing a 50 year long experiment with Parliamentarism and increasing Civil Rights. The shift of power from the Monarch to the Parliament was a direct effect of the disastrous Great Northern War.
