Background
In order to pass, any amendments to the constitution needed a double majority; a majority of the popular vote and majority of the cantons.[2] The decision of each canton was based on the vote in that canton.[2] Full cantons counted as one vote, whilst half cantons counted as half.[2]

gollark: > and thus define human breeding as an inherent functionAnyway, you seem to just be defining it as one, and I'm not sure what you're trying to say by that beyond that having children... is a thing we can do, and one which evolution selects for to some degree. That doesn't make it *the right thing to do* all the time.
gollark: Grow children in vacuum tubes then, but not vacuums.
gollark: Also hi.
gollark: Yes, just grow children in vats, it really sidesteps all these issues.
