BASIC CANTONAL IMPEACHMENT PHASES IN SWITZERLAND

Switzerland relies on a federal constitution (the Constitution of the state) and is then a legal state. Switzerland is a direct democracy because citizens can coexist strongly in public affairs. Switzerland's direct democracy is an example to the world. It is also federal because it consists with cantons, which have a wide range of independence. Today Switzerland has 26 cantons, six of which are semi-cantons. They come in a variety of sizes and do not create a single linguistic or religious unit: Zürich, Bern, Lucerna, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden and Nidwalden (Halbkantone), Glarus, Zug, Freiburg, Solothurn, Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft. (semiconductor), Schaffhausen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Appenzell Innerrhoden (semiconductor), St. Gallen, Graubünden, Aargau, Thurgau, Tessin, Waadt, Wallis, Neuenburg, Genf and Jura. Democracy in Switzerland relies on the Swiss Federal Constitution and recognizes the separation of powers. By this is, it means that state power is distributed over different state bodies. At the national level this seems to be as follows: Legislative, Cantonal Representation, Executive. Knowing that cantons play an important role in shaping the legal system in Switzerland, in this paper we will analyze thë basic cantonal impeachment phases.
