Swiss Federal Constitution The Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation (SR 10, German: "Bundesverfassung der Schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft (BV)" , French: "Constitution fédérale de la Confédération suisse (Cst.)" , Italian: "Costituzione federale della Confederazione Svizzera (Cost.)" , Romansh: ' ) of 18 April 1999 (SR 101"') is the third and current federal constitution of Switzerland. It establishes the "Swiss Confederation" as a federal republic of 26 cantons (states). The document contains a catalogue of individual and popular rights (including the right to call for popular referenda on federal laws and constitutional amendments), delineates the responsibilities of the cantons and the Confederation and establishes the federal authorities of government.
French constitutional referendum, 1870 A constitutional referendum was held in France on 8 May 1870. Voters were asked whether they approved of the liberal reforms made to the constitution since 1860 and passed by the Sénatus-consulte on 20 April 1870. The changes were approved by 82.7% of voters with an 81.3% turnout. However, France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War caused the Empire to be abolished later that year. Despite this being the ninth constitutional referendum in French history, it was the first to have more than 8% oppose the motion, and one of only four to have less than 99% official approval.
