Federal Assembly of Switzerland

The Federal Assembly of Switzerland is the country's national legislature, responsible for making and passing laws. It consists of two chambers: the National Council and the Council of States. The National Council represents the populace, while the Council of States represents the cantons (Swiss states). Together, they discuss and decide on issues like budgets, laws, and national policies. Members are elected by the public, reflecting Switzerland’s values of democracy and direct representation. This system allows citizens to influence legislation and maintain a balance of power among different regions.
