Answer 2

Amendment of the constitution of the United States and Switzerland

Explanation:

• The Swiss Constitution is known across the world for its dedication to direct democracy. Any new law provision in Switzerland can be challenged in a referendum by Swiss citizens.
• More importantly, citizens can start a constitutional amendment process by merely collecting 100,000 signatures in favour of a proposition. More than 400 initiatives have been proposed since the first popular initiative in 1893, spanning a wide range of topics.
• Some are about fundamental institutional issues, such as the Swiss National Council's proportional representation election system. Other projects address specific issues such as the prohibition of absinthe highway speed restrictions and the protection of absinthe distilleries.
• However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable shift toward programmes with a more disturbing tone. In 2009, for example, the initiative process resulted in revisions making it unlawful in Switzerland to construct a minaret.
• The Swiss Constitution was revised in 2010 to force the expulsion of foreign citizens convicted of certain crimes, and limitations on the number of foreigners entering to the country were imposed in 2014. The majority of these measures were met with stiff opposition in Parliament and the media.
• The United States Constitution created the country's national government and core laws, as well as guaranteeing citizens some basic rights.
• The national government was weak and states acted like autonomous countries under America's first governing text, the Articles of Confederation.
• Delegates devised a proposal for a stronger federal government with three branches—executive, legislative, and judicial—along with a system of checks and balances to ensure that no single branch would have too much power at the 1787 conference.
• America has extended across a whole continent in the more than 200 years since the Constitution was written, and its population and economy have grown well beyond what the document's founders could have imagined. The Constitution has withstood and adapted to all of these changes.
