French National Assembly

The French National Assembly is the lower house of France's Parliament, responsible for making laws and representing the French people. Members, known as deputies, are elected every five years in a two-round voting system. The Assembly debates and votes on proposed legislation, oversees the government, and has the power to initiate financial laws. It plays a critical role in checking the powers of the executive branch. The National Assembly meets in the Palais Bourbon in Paris and is a key part of France's democratic system, ensuring that citizens' voices are heard in the legislative process.
