Which of the following statements are correct about the Swiss Political System ?
1. The enumerated legislative jurisdiction of the Centre in Switzerland is broader than that of the U.S.A.
2. Swiss Government has right to military intervention in case of secession.
3. The residuary powers belong to the units.
4. Swiss political system is unitary.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Switzerland is a federal republic of cantons rather than a unitary state, which makes statement 4 incorrect. Under the Swiss Federal Constitution, the enumerated legislative competence of the Confederation is broader than that of the U.S. federal government and federal statutes cannot be invalidated by the Federal Supreme Court (statement 1), the federal authorities possess the power of federal intervention to preserve constitutional order and prevent cantonal secession (statement 2), and residuary powers remain vested in the cantons (statement 3).
