Andersson had appeared at a ''landsting'' in 1742 (gathered on the request of the commoners of Dalarna), where he emerged as the most prominent opponent of the government and the Estates. He was elected to the Riksdag by the delegation from Dalarna. Notably, his mandate was conditioned by a written contract which stipulated that his pay as Riksdag delegate would depend on what kind of improvements he would bring to the peasantry.''Svenskt biografiskt lexikon''.

18th-century Swedish Politicians
The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 ( MDCCI) to December 31, 1800 ( MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. During the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, while declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures, including the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with an emphasis on directly interconnected events.
