Constitutional Background
The total revision of the constitution in 1999 has consolidated the four existing constitutional texts into one document. The text has been approved by the new parliament (elected in March 1999) in June 1999 and is in force since 1 March 2000.
We still keep the old (repealed!) documents for comparison.
