France (Citizens' Assembly)

France's Citizens' Assembly is a democratic body composed of randomly selected citizens that advises government on specific issues, such as constitutional reforms or policy changes. It operates independently from political parties, ensuring diverse public perspectives are included. Members typically participate through informed deliberation, research, and discussion to develop recommendations that reflect citizens’ viewpoints. This process aims to enhance democratic legitimacy, foster public engagement, and improve policy outcomes by integrating citizen input directly into decision-making, fostering a more inclusive and transparent governance process.
