The Regeneration in Switzerland begins in October…
October 1830 CE
Following the French July Revolution in 1830, a number of large assemblies are held calling for new cantonal constitutions.
As each canton has its own constitution, the assemblies in each canton address different specifics, but they all have two main issues.
First, they call for peacefully adjusting the constitutions by adjusting the way seats in local legislatures and the Tagsatzung are allocated.
In particular they object to what they see as the over-representation of the cantonal capital in the government.
Secondly, they seek a way to amend the constitution.
Very few cantons even have a way to amend or modify the constitutions, and none of them allow citizen's initiatives to be added.
