Abstract
The political system is a representative democracy. It was established on the basis of universal suffrage. This regime was all Swiss inhabitants who were 20 years of age of citizens with political rights. This representative democracy was based on the separation of powers. This means at the end of the 18th that the functions of the State are not exercised by the same organ, which was the case in the Switzerland of the former regime, where the members of the grand Council of the 200 and the small Council of 25 members regular function executive, legislative and judicial. There for the first time with this constitution of 1798, the functions Executive, legislative and judicial are separate, distinct, and exercised by judges who are unable to perform other functions.
The legislature is formed by two rooms, elected by indirect universal suffrage in two rounds. All citizens 20 years of age are citizens and therefore voters in primary assemblies. These primary assemblies shall designate an elector for 100 people, it shows that the integrated system in Switzerland in 1798 resumed the system of the constitution of the year 3. They will be part of the 2nd step of the electoral body. It will then be cut in half by draw. These are the remaining which will elect representatives to the two chambers of the Senate and the grand Council.
