((Politics of France))

The current '''Constitution of France''' was adopted on 4 October 1958. It is typically called the '''Constitution of the Fifth Republic''' ((lang|fr|([[French language|French]]: LA CONSTITUTION DE LA CINQUIÈME RÉPUBLIQUE))),<ref>((Cite web |title=Élysée Palace |url=https://www.elysee.fr/la-presidence/la-constitution-de-la-cinquieme-republique |website=Official website of the President of France|date=20 November 2012 ))</ref> and it replaced the [[Constitution of the Fourth Republic]] of 1946 with the exception of the preamble per a [[Decision 71-44 DC of 16 July 1971|1971 decision]] of the [[Constitutional Council of France|Constitutional Council]].<ref>((cite Legifrance|base=NONE|number=0|text=Const. Council dec. 71-44 DC of 16 July 1971|url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/cons/id/CONSTEXT000017665605))</ref> The current Constitution regards the [[Separation of church and state#France|separation of church and state]], democracy, social welfare, and indivisibility as core principles of the French state.<ref name="Conseil-const" />((primary source inline|date=July 2022))

[[Charles de Gaulle]] was the main driving force in introducing the new constitution and inaugurating the [[French Fifth Republic|Fifth Republic]], while the text was drafted by [[Michel Debré]]. Since then, the constitution has been [[Constitutional amendments under the French Fifth Republic|amended]] twenty-five times, [[French constitutional law of 23 July 2008|through 2024]].<ref>((cite web|title=Les révisions constitutionnelles|url=http://www.conseil-constitutionnel.fr/conseil-constitutionnel/francais/la-constitution/les-revisions-constitutionnelles/les-revisions-constitutionnelles.5075.html|website=Conseil Constitutionnel|access-date=15 June 2016))</ref>

==Provisions==

=== Preamble ===
The preamble of the constitution recalls the ''[[Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen]]'' from 1789 and establishes [[France]] as [[Laïcité|a secular]] and [[democracy|democratic]] country, deriving its [[sovereignty]] from the people.

Since 2005 it includes the ten articles of the [[Charter for the Environment]].

=== Government institutions and practices ===
The French Constitution established a [[Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential]] system of government, with two competing readings.<ref name=":1">((Cite book|last1=Bell|first1=John|url=http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199541393.001.0001/acprof-9780199541393|title=Principles of French Law|last2=Boyron|first2=Sophie|last3=Whittaker|first3=Simon|date=2008-03-27|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-954139-3|doi=10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199541393.001.0001))</ref> On one hand, the executive branch has both a [[President of France|president of the republic]] and a [[Prime Minister of France|prime minister]], which is commonly seen in [[parliamentary systems]] with a symbolic president and a prime minister who directs the government.<ref name=":1" /> This reading is supported by Articles 5 and 21 of the Constitution, which respectively states that the president is a Guardian of the State and of the Constitution, while the prime minister has the power to decide on Government's actions and policies.<ref name=":1" />

On the other hand, the [[French Parliament|Parliament]] is very weak for a parliamentary system.<ref name=":1" /> Parliament has a limited legislative competence: article 34 of the Constitution lists domains exclusive to parliamentary legislation, but the remaining domains are left to the executive's regulations.<ref name=":1" /> The president also has the crucial powers to call a [[referendum]] and to dissolve the [[National Assembly]].<ref name=":1" /> While Parliament may make a vote of no confidence on the government, since 1962 a majority in the National Assembly has supported the Government.<ref name=":1" />

Charles de Gaulle, the first president of the Fifth Republic, was instrumental in the adoption of the new constitution, as he was called back from retirement and narrowly avoided a coup resulting from the [[Algerian War]].<ref name=":0">((Cite book|last=Jackson, Vicki C.|title=Comparative constitutional law|others=Tushnet, Mark V., 1945-|year=2014|isbn=978-1-59941-594-9|edition=Third|location=St. Paul, MN|oclc=887207632 |publisher=Foundation Press))</ref><ref name=":1" /> De Gaulle always supported the second interpretation of the constitution, in favor of a powerful president.<ref name=":1" /> The first socialist president, François Mitterrand, elected in 1981, also supported this interpretation.<ref name=":1" />

Beginning in 1986, elections have from time to time resulted in Parliaments with a majority that did not support the president.<ref name=":1" /> Such periods as known in France as [[Cohabitation (government)|cohabitation]], where a president appoints a prime minister from the new parliamentary majority.<ref name=":1" /> During cohabitation, besides powers reserved to the president by the Constitution,<ref>See e.g. articles 5, 12, 19, and 64, on the role of the President of the Republic, the right to dissolve the National Assembly, the personal powers of the President, and the power to appoint three members of the Conseil constitutionnel, among whom is its president.</ref> all other government powers would be exercised by the prime minister.<ref name=":1" /> In 2000, the Constitution was amended by shortening the president's term of office from seven years to five, coinciding with the term of Parliament.<ref name=":1" /> The amendment means the presidential election would take place around the parliamentary election, making it more likely to have winners who agree with one another and make cohabitation less likely.<ref name=":1" />

The Constitution provides for the election of the president and the [[Parliament of France|Parliament]], the selection of the Government, the powers of each and the relations between them.<ref name=":1" /> It ensures judicial authority and creates a High Court (a never-as-yet-convened court for trying the Government),<ref>see article 68 of the constitution</ref> a [[Constitutional Council (France)|Constitutional Council]] (an innovation of the Fifth Republic),<ref name=":1" /> and an Economic and Social Council.

=== Shared lawmaking power ===

A unique feature of the Constitution of the Fifth Republic is that it establishes a shared law-making power between two branches of government, the legislative branch, where such powers resided in previous constitutions, and the executive branch headed by the president and his appointed prime minister.((sfn|Elliott|Jeanpierre|Vernon|2006|p=37))

Parliament has the fundamental responsibility for passing legislation in the Fifth Republic. There are two Houses of Parliament, the National Assembly and the [[Senate (France)|Senate]]. The Assembly is directly elected, and the more important, and has primary power in passing legislation; the Senate can delay, but ultimately not block it.((sfn|Elliott|Jeanpierre|Vernon|2006|p=42))

Traditionally, the prime minister is the executive branch's liaison with Parliament; [[Article 49 of the French Constitution|Article 49]] says they must pledge this role. This is weaker than the constitutions of the [[Constitution of the Third French Republic|Third]] or [[Constitution of the Fourth French Republic|Fourth]] republics, where the government could not be installed until Parliament had received the pledge from the prime minister.((sfn|Dickson|Hübner|1994|p=8–9))

The unique aspect in the Fifth Republic is in ((ill|Article 21 of the French Constitution|fr|Article 21 de la Constitution de la Cinquième République française|lt=Article 21|v=sup)), where the prime minister has the power to make legislation.((sfn|Elliott|Jeanpierre|Vernon|2006|p=37)) In another unique feature in ((ill|Article 38 of the French Constitution|fr|Article 38 de la Constitution de la Cinquième République française|lt=Article 38|v=sup)), the Parliament can ((ill|Legislative delegation in France|fr|Délégation législative|lt=temporarily delegate|v=sup)) a portion of its constitutional law-making power to the government to enable rapid consummation of urgent legislation, by passing an enabling law of legislative delegation called a ((lang|fr|loi d'habilitation)) ("enabling law").((sfn|Dickson|Hübner|1994|p=8–9))

According to Article 21, a ((lang|fr|loi d'habilitation)) may be issued by Parliament upon request of the government to temporarily delegate Parliament's constitutional law-making power to the government in a specifically defined subject area and for a specific length of time. While in effect, Parliament is blocked from issuing statutes in that area, and the government is permitted to draw up ((lang|fr|ordonnances)) that normally would be beyond their remit. The ((lang|fr|ordonnance)) comes into effect immediately, but must be ratified by Parliament before the end of the period or it expires. Until ratification, the ((lang|fr|ordonnance)) has the same status as a ((lang|fr|réglement)) (regulation), and can therefor be challenged by the [[Council of State]]; but after ratification, it takes on the same status as a statute (((lang|fr|loi))), and can no longer be challenged. In practice, there have been 23 such ((lang|fr|lois d'habilitation)) from 1960 to 1990, with effective periods from one month to three and a half years, resulting in 150 ((lang|fr|ordonnances)). About a third of them were subsequently ratified by Parliament. The ((lang|fr|loi d'habilitation)) is a new constitutional feature, not present in earlier constitutions.((sfn|Dickson|Hübner|1994|p=8–9))

((Wikisourcelang|fr|Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen de 1789|Declaration of the Rights of Man|(in French)))
Power sharing was unique in being part of the constitution in the Fifth Republic, but the practice was not recent.
The determination that Parliament has responsibility for the law goes back to article 6 of the [[Declaration of the Rights of Man]] of 1789, and the role of the executive branch was only to execute it. In theory, Parliament would specify general laws, and the executive could only make regulations about how to apply the laws to day-to-day situations. In practice, this turned out differently, as Parliament on its own initiative sometimes passed acts delegating to the executive the right to alter or void acts of Parliament, called ((lang|fr|décrets-lois)). This practice slowly found its way into the Constitution.((sfn|Elliott|Jeanpierre|Vernon|2006|p=69))

Although Article 1 of the [[French Third Republic|Third Republic]]'s ((clarify span|Constitutional Act of 25 February 1874|reason=Supported by EJV-2006 p.69, but cannot find corroboration elsewhere that such a law even exists. Not a mixup with art. 1 of the Constitutional Act of 25 February 1875, which is about the Senate.|date=October 2023))((better source needed|reason=To confirm the 25 Feb 1874 act|date=October 2023)) explicitly forbade the Parliament to delegate its responsibility, within five years this was ignored and had occurred several times. In 1939, in the runup to the Second World War, Parliament gave the government the power to enact decrees to protect the country. This practice became entrenched after the war, despite the fact that Article 13 of the [[French Constitution of 1946|1946 Constitution]] of the newly founded Fourth Republic expressly forbade it.((efn|"The National Assembly alone votes Statutes. It cannot delegate this power." —French Constitution of 27 October 1946, Article 13.)) Part of the reason for this, was a lot of squabbling among numerous small political parties in Parliament, who were unable to agree on anything and were ineffective in passing legislation. This became especially problematic in the 1950s, as the [[Algerian Crisis|crisis in Algeria]] began to heat up, and Parliament was unable to deal with it. Charles de&nbsp;Gaulle, a private citizen at the time, realized that the way out was to have a more powerful executive and a weaker Parliament; when he was finally invited to form a new government in 1958 and write a constitution, his ideas were incorporated into the [[Constitution of the Fifth Republic]], including the legislative power sharing defined in Articles 21 and 38.((sfn|Elliott|Jeanpierre|Vernon|2006|p=69–70))

In the original version of Article 37, everything that was not reserved to the legislative domain in article was of a regulatory character (i.e., under control of the executive branch), although that clause was removed later. Since 1982, the legislative domain expanded, and since the landmark 1971 decision of the [[Constitutional Council (France)|Constitutional Council]],((which?|date=October 2023)) additional sources were defined as part of the [[Constitutional block (France)|constitutional block]], such as the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and the 1946 constitutional preamble, which were henceforth part of the legislative domain. and after further reforms in 1996, the legislative domain has more power than was originally thought in 1958.((sfn|Elliott|Jeanpierre|Vernon|2006|p=70-72))

=== Treaties and the EU ===
It enables the ratification of international treaties<ref>International treaties enter into domestic legal system by law which, according to the French Constitution (Article 55), has above-the-primary rank: ((cite journal|last1=Buonomo|first1=Giampiero|title=Incompatibilità tra parlamento italiano ed europeo: le "contraddizioni" costituzionali e i paletti ai consiglieri regionali|journal=Diritto&Giustizia Edizione Online|date=2004|url=https://www.questia.com/projects#!/project/89382051|access-date=5 April 2016|archive-date=1 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120801002834/http://www.questia.com/projects#!/project/89382051|url-status=dead))</ref> and those associated with the European Union. It is unclear whether the wording, especially the reserves of reciprocity, is compatible with [[European Union law]].

=== Amendment ===
The Constitution also sets out methods for its own amendment: a [[referendum]] (article 11) or a parliamentary process with presidential consent. The normal procedure of constitutional amendment is that the amendment must be adopted in identical terms by both houses of Parliament and then must be adopted by a simple majority in a referendum or by a three-fifths supermajority of the [[French Congress]], a joint session of both houses of Parliament (article 89).

==Principles==
((more cn|date=September 2023))

=== Judicial review ===

Prior to 1971, though executive, administrative and judicial decisions had to comply with the general principles of law ([[jurisprudence]] derived from law and the practice of law in general), there were no such restrictions on legislation. It was assumed that unelected judges and other appointees should not be able to overrule laws voted for by the directly elected French parliament.

=== Constitutional block ===
<!-- "Constitutional block (France)" redirects here (see MOS:HIDDENLINKADVICE). -->
((Constitutional block sidebar))
((Further ill|Constitutional block|fr|Bloc de constitutionnalité))

In 1971, a landmark decision by the [[Constitutional Council of France|Constitutional Council]] (71-44DC<ref>((in lang|fr)) [http://www.conseil-constitutionnel.fr/decision/1971/7144dc.htm Decision nr. 71-44 DC], granting constitutional authority to the preambles of 1789 and 1946</ref>) cited the preamble of the Constitution and its references to the principles laid in the [[Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen]] as a reason for rejecting a law that, according to the council, violated one of these principles.<ref name=":0" /> Although considered a juridical coup d’état at the time, the decision formed basis of the Constitutional Council today.<ref name=":0" />

Since then, it is assumed that the "constitutional block" includes not only the Constitution, but also the other texts referred to in its preamble:<ref>((cite legifrance |base=none |number=0 |text=Constitution|url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/contenu/menu/droit-national-en-vigueur/constitution))</ref>
* The [[Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen]] of 1789
* The preamble of the [[French Constitution of 27 October 1946|Constitution of 1946]] (which adds a number of "social rights", as well as the equality of men and women)
* The [[Charter for the Environment]] of 2004

Since then, the possibility of sending laws before the council has been extended. In practice, the political opposition sends all controversial laws before it.

===Principles of the Republic===
((primary|section|find=French constitution|find2=basic principles 1958 |date=September 2023))
In the Constitution are written the principles of the French Republic:<ref name="Conseil-const">https://www.conseil-constitutionnel.fr/le-bloc-de-constitutionnalite/texte-integral-de-la-constitution-du-4-octobre-1958-en-vigueur | website = Conseil Constitutionnelle</ref>
* [[Social welfare]], which means that everybody must be able to access free public services and be helped when needed.
* [[Secularism in France|Laïcité]], which means that the churches are separated from the [[Sovereign state|State]] and the freedom from religion is protected.
* [[Democracy]], which means that the Parliament and the Government are elected by the people.
* Indivisibility, which means that the French people are united in a single [[Sovereign state|sovereign]] country with one language, the [[French language]], and all people are equal.

==Amendments==
((details|topic=amendments|Constitutional amendments under the Fifth French Republic))
The Constitution, in Article 89, has an amending formula. First, a constitutional bill must be approved by both houses of Parliament. Then, the bill must either be approved by the [[Congress of France|Congress]], a special joint session of both houses, or submitted to a [[referendum]].

In 1962, Charles de Gaulle proposed that the president be elected by direct suffrage.<ref name=":1" /> He bypassed the amendment procedure by directly sending a constitutional amendment to referendum (article 11). The Art. 11 procedure was envisioned as a procedure for proposing legislation, including changing the organization of constitutional institutions.<ref name=":1" /> The [[1962 French presidential election referendum|1962 referendum]] was approved by 62% of the vote but only 46% of registered voters.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> The amendment permitted the establishment of a popularly-elected presidency, which would otherwise have been vetoed by the Parliament.<ref name="DN">[[Dieter Nohlen]] & Philip Stöver (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p674 ((ISBN|978-3-8329-5609-7))</ref>

The referendum was highly controversial at the time, but the [[Constitutional Council of France|Constitutional Council]] ruled that it can only review legislative acts for unconstitutionality, not executive acts; since the referendum was proposed by the executive, it was unreviewable.<ref name=":0" /> Since a referendum expressed the will of the sovereign people, the Council ruled that the amendment had been adopted.<ref>See C. cons. 6 Nov. 1962, ''Election du Président de la République'', Rec. 27.</ref> Some scholars had regarded the amendment as a post hoc manifestation of the constituent power, which is the inherent power of the people to bypass an existing constitution to adopt a new constitution.<ref name=":0" />

Article 11 was used for constitutional changes for the second and final time in [[1969 French constitutional referendum|1969]], but the "No" prevailed, causing Charles de Gaulle to resign from the presidency.<ref name=DN/>

On 21 July 2008, Parliament passed constitutional reforms championed by President [[Nicolas Sarkozy]] by a margin of two votes. The changes, when finalized, introduced a consecutive two-term limit for the presidency, gave Parliament a veto over some presidential appointments, ended government control over Parliament's committee system, allowed Parliament to set its own agenda, allowed the president to address Parliament in-session and ended the president's right of collective pardon. (See [[French constitutional law of 23 July 2008]]).<ref name="BBC 21 July 2008">((cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7517505.stm |title=France backs constitution reform  |date=21 July 2008 |work=BBC News  |access-date=4 September 2009))</ref>

On 4 March 2024, Parliament amended Article 34 in a 780 to 72 vote. This amendment made France, as of passage, the only nation to guarantee the right to an abortion.<ref name="ap-abortion">((cite news |last1=Surk |first1=Barbara |last2=Garriga |first2=Nicolas |title=France becomes the only country to explicitly guarantee abortion as a constitutional right |url=https://apnews.com/article/france-abortion-right-constitution-parliament-vote-versailles-d6ce4fb3a6a7288033f58235b65f570e |access-date=4 March 2024 |work=AP News |publisher=The Associated Press |date=4 March 2024 |language=en))</ref> The amendment describes abortion as a "guaranteed freedom";<ref name="nyt-abortion">((cite news |last1=Porter |first1=Catherine |title=French Lawmakers Enshrine Access to Abortion in Constitution |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/04/world/europe/france-abortion-rights-constitution.html |access-date=4 March 2024 |work=The New York Times |date=4 March 2024))</ref> while Yugoslavia included similar measures in 1974 guaranteeing the right to "decide on having children", the French amendment is the first to explicitly guarantee abortion.
