It was not until the Federal Constitution of 1874 that all Swiss citizens were granted equal political rights on local and Federal levels. This revised constitution finally removed all the political voting and electoral body rights from the "Bürgergemeinde". In the cities, the percentage of members in the "Bürgergemeinde" in the population was reduced as a result of increasing emigration to the cities. This led to the "Bürgergemeinde" losing its former importance to a large extent. However, the "Bürgergemeinde" has remained, and it includes all individuals who are citizens of the "Bürgergemeinde", usually by having inherited the "Bürgerrecht" (citizenship), regardless of where they were born or where they may currently live. Instead of the place of birth, Swiss legal documents, e.g. passports, contain the "Bürgerort" (place of citizenship, or place of origin). The "Bürgergemeinde" also often holds and administers the common property in the village for the members of the community.
