Abstract: On June 11 of this year three amendments to the Swiss federal constitution, proposed by initiative, were voted upon. The most important was one regarding naturalization. By Article 44, section 2, of the constitution of 1874, this subject was left to federal legislation. The proposed amendment attempted to place the more essential details of the process of naturalization in the constitution. Consent of the Bundesrat to the grant of communal and cantonal citizenship was to be given only in case the foreigner during the fifteen years prior to his application had lived at least twelve years in Switzerland, including the two years immediately preceding his application.
