History

| url= http://www.admin.ch/ch/f/bk/rundgang/index.html | titer=Parcours through the history of the federal Chancellery | federal auteur=Chancellery | consulted le= October 30th, 2007 }} == The federal Chancellery is created by Napoleon i, at the time of the Acte of mediation of 1803. At that time, the chancellor (with the Secretary of State) one of the rare people is employed full-time as federal civil servant.

The role and the responsibilities for the Chancellery are re-examined during the adoption of the Constitution of 1848 where it loses of its importance to become only one administrative service of the Federal council and the Parliament.

A new reform, introduction into the Years 1960, transforms the Chancellery into a true service of staff of the Swiss government.
