The French Constitution

The French Constitution is the fundamental legal document that outlines the structure and functioning of the French state, as well as the rights of its citizens. Initially adopted in 1958, it established the Fifth Republic, defining the roles of the President, Parliament, and judiciary. It safeguards individual freedoms and promotes democratic values. Over the years, the Constitution has been amended to adapt to changing societal needs and political realities, ensuring that it remains relevant while providing a framework for governance and the rule of law in France.
