French Government

The French Government refers to the political authority and administrative organ of the French Republic, responsible for the execution of laws and the day-to-day administration of the country. It is composed of the Prime Minister, who heads the government, and other ministers, who are in charge of various government departments or ministries. The French Government operates within the framework of a semi-presidential system defined by the Constitution of the Fifth Republic, established in 1958. This system divides power between the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister, with the latter being appointed by the President and responsible for running the government, proposing laws, and implementing policies. The French Government plays a crucial role in the legislative process, often working collaboratively with the Parliament, which comprises two houses: the National Assembly and the Senate. The government is responsible for drafting and presenting bills to the Parliament, managing public services, and making decisions on domestic and foreign policies.
