Switzerland has a relatively high number of small municipalities, with a population of 1,000 or less, especially in rural areas.

1924-582: The British and Western European systems. Much of the terminology and classifications are taken from it.

These emblems often involve

2590-724: The exercise of political rights for everyone except the members of the Bürgergemeinde . In the Regeneration era (1830–1848), the liberal revolutions of the common people helped to restore some rights again in a few cantons.

3848-533: The old towns and their tenants and servants, led to conflict. The wealthier villagers and urban citizens held rights to forests, common land and other municipal property which they did not want to share with the "new citizens", who were generally poor.
