If you want to know more about the canton of Basel and why we split in two half-cantons you need to know the ancient rulers. They were patrician families who ruled and governed this city as well as the countryside and were named «The Basler Daig». How did they deal with the enlightened ideas and the new political situation. The consequences have left a lasting mark on us until today.
