Chamber of Deputies of France

The Chamber of Deputies, officially known as the National Assembly, is the lower house of France's Parliament. It plays a crucial role in the legislative process, where deputies (members) represent the public. They propose, debate, and vote on laws, and their approval is essential for legislation to pass. The Assembly also checks the government's actions, ensuring accountability. Comprising 577 deputies elected for five-year terms, it is located in Paris. The National Assembly works alongside the Senate, the upper house, to shape France's laws and policies, reflecting the democratic values of the country.
