The proclamation of the Swiss federal state in 1848 was an illegal coup d'etat. Our political system has no valid basis. With the constitution of 1848, Switzerland was also to be packed into a single federal state as a constitutional nation state. That was the fall of man.

And even the founding of the modern state in 1848 was again preceded by a violent conflict between the Catholic and Protestant cantons, namely the Sonderbund War.
