Senate of France

The Senate of France is the upper chamber of the French Parliament, alongside the National Assembly. It represents local governments and communities, with its members elected by a body of elected officials from municipalities, departments, and regions. The Senate reviews, amends, and approves legislation passed by the lower house, playing a key role in the legislative process. Senators serve longer terms than deputies and focus on long-term issues, regional interests, and national stability. Together with the National Assembly, the Senate helps make laws, oversee the government, and ensure balanced governance in France.
