Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal against the cantonal merger decree was directly admissible before the Federal Supreme Court
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The decree was treated as a cantonal act affecting political rights and could be challenged directly at federal level.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the decree was administrative rather than legislative, that the appellants had standing as voters, and that direct recourse was available under the rules on political rights and cantonal last-instance decisions.
