The result of the move request was: not moved. Per below arguments, Swiss Federal Constitution is the common name in reliable sources. (non-admin closure) Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 21:45, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Swiss Federal Constitution → Constitution of Switzerland – Common name. Yes, Switzerland is a federal republic and each canton has its own constitution too. The same situation is in the US, where there is United States Federal Constitution and each state has its own constitution. But the articles are titled in the case of the US as Constitution of the United States and State constitution (United States). Therefore in the case of Switzerland this article should have a name Constitution of Switzerland and articles about the cantonal constitutions - cantonal constitution.

Neutral, leaning oppose – How is it referred to in reliable (esp. scholarly) sources? Graham (talk) 07:07, 23 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose - the Swiss call it Swiss Federal Constitution, and Federal is an important word here. As for scholarly articles in English, a cursory search on Google scholar found twice as many Swiss Federal Constitution as Constitution of Switzerland. Superboilles (talk) 19:56, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
