Cantonal Constitution

A Cantonal Constitution is the fundamental legal document that defines the organization, powers, and rights of a canton, which is a regional or administrative subdivision within a country. It sets out how the canton’s government operates, its relationship with other governmental levels, and the rights of its citizens. Essentially, it functions like a local constitution, ensuring local governance is carried out according to established rules and principles. This helps preserve regional autonomy while aligning with national laws, providing a clear framework for political and administrative functions within that canton.
