Happy You Have Rights Day – Introductory tour

Secondary levels I and II

The Federal Constitution was drawn up 175 years ago during a time fraught with conflict. What did the various political groups argue about? What democratic rights were achieved during the 19th century and what prompted the total revision of the Constitution in 1999? Key events in constitutional history illustrate Switzerland’s development into the direct democracy that it is today.
