Delving into the Unique Political Structure of Switzerland

Info

Switzerland is a unique and fascinating country when it comes to its political system.

As a confederation, Switzerland has a complex structure that sets it apart from many other nations.

At the core of Switzerland's government are three branches:

the executive, legislative, and judicial.

The executive branch is led by the Federal Council, a seven-member governing body that acts as both the head of state and head of government.

This collegial system ensures power is shared rather than concentrated in a single individual.

The legislative branch is the Federal Assembly, which is divided into two chambers - the National Council and the Council of States.

The National Council represents the people, with seats allocated based on population, while the Council of States gives equal representation to the 26 cantons (similar to states or provinces). - https://switzerlandfocusguide.com/blog/switzerland-government-branches/?unique_id_looriefk
