Description: A history of the city and Calvin's influence on it.
THE REFORMATION IN SWITZERLAND AND SOUTHERN GERMANY t the beginning of the sixteenth century, Switzerland [See ] was still nominally a part of the Holy Roman Empire. In fact, it was for all practical purposes wholly independent. Its constitutional structure was that of a loose confederation of thirteen cantons, which had evolved from an original nucleus of three. There was a diet, which represented all the cantons, but its decisions, to be binding, had to be unanimous; and it was left to each canton to enforce them. Thus each canton enjoyed a great deal of autonomy. Some cantons were rural; others were dominated by the flourishing cities whose names they bore, such as Basel, Bern, and Zurich.
