France's Fifth Republic

The Fifth Republic of France, established in 1958, is the country's current government system. It was created to stabilize political leadership amid past instability, notably ending the Algerian War. It features a strong President who has significant executive powers, including appointing the Prime Minister and commanding the military. The Parliament, with the National Assembly and Senate, makes laws and checks the government. This system balances presidential authority with parliamentary accountability, aiming to ensure stable governance and effective decision-making within France’s democratic framework.
