Why?

The Constitution organises the State: it says how power is shared between the president, the Government, Parliament and the courts. Through its Preamble, it also guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms, for example those of the Declaration of 1789. Offences are in the Criminal Code (Code pénal), and traffic rules are in the Highway Code (Code de la route).
