Any key position in the federal governance bodies will continue to function even if the committee leading thereto is populated by only one (1) out of the four (4) cantons.
If all four (4) cantons fail to populate at least one of the governance bodies necessary for the functioning of the Federal Government (be it the executive, legislative, judiciary, or any other critical body) than this Basic Law is deemed terminated. Each canton is then free to apply its own sovereignty as if an independent country on its territory. Each canton may seek independence or a new social pact will be negotiated between the cantons.
