Paragraph 20
 

Therefore, contrary to what one might expect in a federal entity, the composition of the House of Peoples does not mainly reflect the participation of the cantons in the legislative process. In reality, it primarily represents the constituent peoples on a parity basis, ensuring that each constituent people has the same number of representatives and represents the population of the cantons proportionally.
