The Swiss Tagsatzung was the legislative and executive council of the Swiss confederacy from the beginnings until the formation of the Swiss federal state in 1848. It was a meeting of delegates of the individual cantons. Its power was very limited, since the cantons were essentially sovereign. The presiding canton was known as the Vorort, usually the canton which had called the Tagsatzung. The Tagsatzung was re-organized by the Federal Treaty (Bundesvertrag) of 7 August 1815. The Tagsatzung was held in various locations, Baden being popular because of its hot springs. The last three presiding cantons were Bern, Lucerne and Zürich. Bern was chosen as the "federal city" (Bundesstadt, with deliberate avoidance of the term "capital" or Hauptstadt) in 1848.
