Abstract

Abstract
The people who are defined as the electorate (the citizens who after the age of majority exercise in reality their political rights), are the constitutive and constituent element of the Confederation (both at  federal and cantonal level) and, simultaneously, the supreme organ and the principal source of legitimacy in the Swiss constitutional order. The people participate in decisions that involve additions to them some time generating serious conflicts with the competent
authorities
