The author, a Swiss statesman and journalist, examines the historical context of the Swiss democratic tradition, from its origins in ancient communal assemblies to its modern manifestation in the form of direct legislation. He then delves into the practical implementation of the initiative and referendum, discussing the processes for initiating legislation, collecting signatures, and conducting referendums. The author also analyzes the impact of these tools on Swiss politics, including their influence on the balance of power between the people and their elected representatives. He argues that the Swiss experience demonstrates the value of direct democracy as a means of ensuring that the will of the people is reflected in the laws that govern them. Through detailed analysis and historical context, this book highlights the significance of the initiative and referendum as powerful instruments for popular sovereignty and political empowerment.
