Atmosphere of France: politics
France is a democratic social state with a Republican form of government. The administrative division of France is composed of more than 20 regions, about a hundred departments, and several tens of thousands of communes. The French legislation is based on the Constitution of 1958. It is worth noting that until 1995, almost every 10 years, the constitution was amended and corrected. The head of state is the President. He is elected through a voting process. If, however, after the election, both candidates obtain an equal number of votes, a second round of elections will be conducted in the country. The main function of the President is the strict observance and implementation of the rules and norms of the Constitution. He acts as a national arbitrator. Also, the President is the world guarantor of the security of the borders of his country.
