Book excerpt: Switzerland is not only one of the oldest democracies in the world, but also an enduring model of peaceful multiethnic policy, characterized by a Constitution that is constant flux. The new Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation took effect on January 1, 2000; and it is with the intention of staying abreast of the constitutional changes and of the case law of the Federal Court that the authors have prepared the current volume.

Thomas Fleiner is Professor of constitutional and administrative law and Director of the Institute for Federalism at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland; Alexander Misic, lic.iur., LL.M.; Nicole Toepperwien, Dr. iur., LL.M.

Download or read book The Swiss Constitution in a Comparative Context written by Walter Haller and published by Dike Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Swiss Constitution features a number of characteristics which often attract the attention of observers from abroad: the direct influence of Swiss citizens on political decision-making by means of popular initiatives and referendums; a uniquely "bottom-up" federal structure reflecting the country's cultural and linguistic diversity; a system of government which vests supreme executive power in a multi-party collegiate body; and, finally, a very special model of constitutional justice. Since publication of the first edition of this book in 2009, Swiss constitutional law has undergone significant developments necessitating, in addition to complete revision, the inclusion of a new chapter discussing the tensions that can arise between the increased use of popular initiatives on the one hand and fundamental rights and international law on the other. This book is addressed to lawyers, political scientists, politicians, diplomats, journalists and all those who need basic and precise knowledge on how Switzerland is governed. The author gives a concise presentation of the special characteristics of the Swiss constitutional order, whilst the reader's understanding is enhanced by numerous comparisons with other well-known constitutions. Rapid access to the information sought is facilitated by the detailed subject index. (Series: Swiss Law in a Nutshell) [Subject: Swiss Law, Constitutional Law, Politics]
Download or read book Constitutional Law in Switzerland written by Alexander Misic and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in Switzerland provides essential information on the country’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure. Thorough coverage by a local expert fully describes the political system, the historical background, the role of treaties, legislation, jurisprudence, and administrative regulations. The discussion of the form and structure of government outlines its legal status, the jurisdiction and workings of the central state organs, the subdivisions of the state, its decentralized authorities, and concepts of citizenship. Special issues include the legal position of aliens, foreign relations, taxing and spending powers, emergency laws, the power of the military, and the constitutional relationship between church and state. Details are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for both practising and academic jurists. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Switzerland will welcome this guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative constitutional law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation: September 12, 1848; With Art, XLI and XLVIII as Amended January 14, 1866 To a native of Switzerland nothing could be more gratifying than to notice the frequent manifestations of popular sympathy in England and the United States, toward the country where republicanism has maintained a foot-hold for the last five hundred years. Having thus the love of country so innate in a Swiss, almost daily stimulated by the many encomiums bestowed upon the land of his birth, its scenery, institutions, and people, the translator was induced to think a rendering into English of the instrument which so effectually cemented into a general whole the varied interests of twenty-two distinct governments, could not but prove acceptable to its Anglo-Saxon admirers. It was considered irrelevant to give a detailed account of the causes which led to the adoption of the present excellent Constitution, as it would occupy a space wholly disproportionate to the nature of the present publication; suffice it to slay, that prior to 1848, Switzerland was only governed by the very inadequate laws of a Confederacy similar to those of the United Spates previous to the framing of their Constitution, in 1787.
