America invented freedom. Switzerland then took those ideals and tried to refine them. The obvious big difference: Switzerland built its system on civil rather than common law.
To me the obvious big difference is just size: Switz is 10 million, the US is 35x larger in population, and also far larger in geography. Switz is also actually federalist, instead of pretending to be, as in the US, to the extent that nobody really knows who the president is.
