Answer:

Each of the members has an equal vote on the council.

The council elects a president and a vice president.

Each of the cantons elects an individual to represent it in the Federal Council.

Explanation:

All of these describe ways in which Switzerland has created a system of participatory, and almost direct democracy. Each canton elects a person to join the Federal Council, and they all have an equal vote in it. Decision-making also occurs through a system of referendums, divided into mandatory, popular initiative and optional. Different laws require a different type of referendum, or a different type of majority. Moreover, citizens can participate directly by launching a popular initiative to demand a change in the constitution.
