Mode of Election: The President of France is elected through a two-round
popular vote system. Candidates must be at least 18 years old and gather
signatures from elected officials or citizens in support of their candidacy. In
the first round, if no candidate receives an absolute majority, the top two
candidates proceed to a runoff election. The candidate who receives the most
votes in the second round is elected as President.

Term: The President serves a five-year term and can be re-elected for a
second consecutive term.

Succession to the Presidency: In case of the President's death, resignation, or


incapacity, the President of the Senate temporarily assumes the role of Acting
President until a new election can be held.

Powers of the President:

 Traditional Functions: The President is the head of state and represents


France domestically and internationally. They appoint the Prime Minister and
other government officials, preside over cabinet meetings, and sign bills into
law.
 Personal or Discretionary Powers: The President has certain discretionary
powers, such as the ability to dissolve the National Assembly, declare a state
of emergency, and negotiate treaties. However, these powers are often
exercised in consultation with other government officials.
 The President as Mediator: The President plays a crucial role in mediating
between different branches of government and political parties. They are
expected to foster unity and consensus among various stakeholders and
address national issues impartially. Additionally, the President can address the
nation during times of crisis or important events to provide leadership and
guidance.

The Cabinet: The cabinet is a group of ministers chosen by the President of
France to assist in governing the country. It includes key ministers responsible
for various government departments and policies.

The Cabinet and Collective Responsibility: Members of the cabinet are


collectively responsible for government decisions. This means that they must
publicly support and defend policies adopted by the cabinet, even if they
personally disagree with them. This ensures unity and coherence in
government actions.

Functions of the Cabinet: The cabinet is responsible for proposing and


implementing government policies, drafting legislation, managing public
finances, and overseeing the administration of government departments. It
meets regularly to discuss and make decisions on important issues facing the
country.

Parliamentary Control: The cabinet is subject to parliamentary control, which


means that it must be accountable to the Parliament for its actions and
decisions. Members of Parliament have the power to question cabinet
ministers, scrutinize government policies, and hold the cabinet to account
through debates and votes.
Parliament: The Parliament of France is the country's legislative body and is
composed of two chambers: the National Assembly and the Senate.

National Assembly: The National Assembly is the lower house of Parliament


and is composed of 577 members known as deputies. Deputies are elected by
the people of France to represent their constituencies.

 Qualifications: To be eligible for election as a member of the National


Assembly, a person must be at least 18 years old and a French citizen.

 Tenure: Members of the National Assembly serve a five-year term, which is
synchronized with the term of the President.

The Constitution of the Fifth Republic of France, which was established in
1958, has several key features:

1. Semi-Presidential System: France operates under a semi-presidential system,


which means power is divided between a President, who is the head of state,
and a Prime Minister, who is the head of government. This system combines
elements of both presidential and parliamentary systems of government.
2. Strong Executive: The President of France wields significant executive
powers, including the ability to appoint the Prime Minister, dissolve the
National Assembly, and represent the country internationally. The President is
directly elected by the people.
3. Parliamentary Oversight: Despite the strong executive role of the President,
the Parliament, consisting of the National Assembly and the Senate, provides
oversight and checks and balances. The Parliament has the authority to pass
laws, scrutinize government actions, and hold the executive accountable.
4. Separation of Powers: The Constitution of the Fifth Republic upholds the
principle of the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and
judicial branches of government. This ensures that no single branch can
monopolize power, fostering a system of checks and balances.
5. Role of the Prime Minister: The Prime Minister is appointed by the President
and is responsible for implementing government policies and managing the
day-to-day affairs of the country. The Prime Minister leads the Council of
Ministers, which is the executive branch of government.
6. Independent Judiciary: The Constitution guarantees the independence of the
judiciary, which serves as a separate and impartial branch of government
responsible for interpreting and applying the law. This ensures that the rule of
law is upheld and that all citizens are treated fairly under the legal system.
7. Protection of Fundamental Rights: The Constitution of the Fifth Republic
enshrines fundamental rights and freedoms, including freedom of speech,
religion, and assembly. These rights are protected by the judiciary and form
the basis of a democratic and pluralistic society.

Overall, the Constitution of the Fifth Republic of France establishes a


framework for democratic governance, with a balance of power between the
executive, legislative, and judicial branches, as well as robust protections for
individual rights and freedoms.

The fall of the Fourth Republic in France was characterized by political
instability and governmental paralysis due to frequent changes in leadership
and an inability to address pressing issues. This led to a crisis of confidence in
the political system, prompting calls for reform. In response, the Constitution
of the Fifth Republic was established in 1958, aiming to provide a more stable
and effective system of governance. The new constitution created a semi-
presidential system, granting the President significant executive powers, while
maintaining a strong parliamentary oversight role. This shift in the nature of
the constitution reflected a desire for stronger leadership and clearer lines of
authority, which was seen as necessary to address the challenges facing the
country.
