1930 Switzerland Poster Stamp 1st Centenary Cantonal Constitution 1830 -1930 MNH A Few Light Brown Spots This Poster Stamp Was Issued In 1930 To Commemorate The 100th Anniversary Of The Cantonal Constitution Of Ticino, Switzerland. The Design Features A Central Heraldic Shield Divided Vertically Into Red And Blue Halves—The Traditional Colors Of The Canton Of Ticino—Crowned By A Radiant White Cross Symbolizing The Swiss Confederation. The Bold Green Border Encircles The Emblem With The Inscription Marking The Years "1830–1930" And The Event Title "Costituzione Cantonale," Highlighting The Centenary Of The Canton’s Foundational Legal Charter. The Phrase "I Centenario" Below Reinforces The Historic Significance Of The Celebration. Such Stamps Were Typically Produced As Commemorative Labels For Public Events, Often Used On Correspondence, Posters, Or Promotional Materials During Regional Fairs Or Government Anniversaries. Visible Text (Rewritten In Sentence Form): Italian: 1830 Costituzione Cantonale 1930. I Centenario — English Translation: 1830 Cantonal Constitution 1930. 1st Centenary. Country Of Origin: Switzerland Year Of Issue: 1930A Cantonal Constitution is the fundamental legal document or charter that defines the structure, powers, and responsibilities of a canton's government within the Swiss Confederation. Each of Switzerland’s 26 cantons is a semi-sovereign entity with its own constitution, legislature, executive, and judiciary. These constitutions operate under the umbrella of the Swiss Federal Constitution, but give cantons wide latitude in governing local affairs, such as education, health, police, and taxation. In the specific case of Ticino, the 1830 Cantonal Constitution marked a pivotal moment in the canton’s self-governance, emerging during a broader European wave of liberal reforms. It would have codified democratic principles such as separation of powers, civil rights, and possibly the expansion of suffrage, replacing earlier more autocratic or ecclesiastically influenced systems. The 1930 centenary commemorated 100 years of this constitutional milestone. So, in essence, a cantonal constitution is like a mini-national constitution for each Swiss canton—providing a legal and institutional framework for local self-rule, adapted to the unique history, language, and traditions of that region.We're Happy To Combine Shipping On Multiple Orders To Help You Save!
