Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Switzerland All this illustrates the fundamental truth about Switzer land that it is not a homogeneous but a composite state. The country is so small - its total area is less than half that of Ireland - that everyone has more or less difficulty in grasping its essentially federal character. The federalism, however, is a reality - the root reality of Swiss history and modern Swiss government. The Republic is a congregation of small self governing communities that have been gradually drawn together by common interests and the need of defence against outside powers. Through centuries the union was a loose and variable one; to-day it is Closely knit and severely defined. But each community, howsoever it may have been brought into the union - by treaty, or by conquest, or as a suppliant for protection - jealously guards its individuality and its rights of self-rule. Certain of these rights have been handed over to the federal government; but the rest are the canton s own - ln regard to them it is sovereign, and the Parliament in Bern cannot abate a jot or tittle of them.
