    Political system

    Government Overview
    The French political system is a republic. In this republic
    they have an executive and legislative branch, much like
    what we have here in the United States. They have an
    executive branch, judicial branch and a legislative
    branch. The
    executive branch
    consists of a
    president and a
    prime minister. In
    the legislative
    branch there are the
    senate and the
    National Assembly.
    The judicial branch has the Council of State.
    President and Prime Minister
    Francois Holland is the current president of France. He
    was elected in 2012 and is currently serving his five year
    term. Manuel Valls is the current prime minister of
    France. The president appoints the prime minister, is in
    charge of the
    cabinet, and is
    commander-
    in-chief. The
    prime minister
    watches over
    what the
    government
    does and is the
    implementer
    of the laws.
    The two of these leaders together create the executive
    branch. They are the ones who are in charge of the
    country. They also are face for the country. The President
    is usually the first person you think of for the politics of a
    country
    The Legislative Branch
    The main purposes of the legislative branch are similar to
    those of Americas. They pass votes on the budget, keep
    an eye on the executive branch, and aid in passing bills.
    The legislative branch in France is broken down into the
    senate and the National Assembly. In the National
    Assembly, there are 577 seats. In the senate there are
    331.
    Judicial Branch
    The judicial branch are the people who enforce the laws
    that have been made. They consist of the District Court,
    the Commercial Court, The Court of Cassation, and the
    Court of Appeals. Together they create peace harmony
    across France.
    The Party
    System
    There are many
    political parties
    in France.
    Some of the
    main ones
    include the
    socialist party, which is on the left, along with the
    communist party. There are also the Democratic Party
    and the Conservative party on the right. They are all
    parties that are chosen to be voted for in the French
    Political System.
