France's National Assembly
France's National Assembly is the lower house of the French Parliament, responsible for making laws, scrutinizing the government, and representing citizens. It consists of 577 deputies elected every five years through direct elections in various constituencies across France. The Assembly debates and votes on proposed laws, examines government actions, and has the power to approve the budget. Its decisions work alongside the Senate, the upper house, to shape national legislation. The National Assembly plays a central role in France’s democratic system, ensuring that elected representatives voice public interests and hold the government accountable.
