The constitution describes the form of government as a constitutional hereditary monarchy on a democratic and parliamentary basis. State power is therefore anchored both in the Prince and in the people. Liechtenstein brings two opposing principles, the monarchical and the democratic, to a common denominator.

The Liechtenstein territory has been inhabited since the 5th millennium BC. However, it was only in 1719 - after Prince Johann Adam acquired the Lordship of Schellenberg and the County of Vaduz - that the territory was elevated to an imperial principality with the name Liechtenstein. The country received its sovereignty in 1806.
