I have nothing against the Swiss.
But the notion that they know more about the United States Constitution than our own Founding Fathers is laughable at best. *That’s* what I was ridiculing.

Ah, the Strawman fallacy. You deliberately misstate what I said, and then attack what *YOU* said as being ridiculous.
The Swiss gained their independence from their Monarchical masters, several hundred years before we did. The philosophical basis of overthrowing a Monarchy and forming an independent Government was pioneered by them. Nothing in the English principles of law resemble it at all. To argue that the Principles upon which the US was founded come from English Law is what is ridiculous.
Our principles of governance represents a deliberate break from English law. It is the difference between a "Subject" and a "Citizen."
