In the exam (French)
Qui vote les lois ?
- aParliamentLe ParlementCorrect answer
- bThe President of the RepublicLe président de la République
- cThe governmentLe gouvernement
- dThe Constitutional CouncilLe Conseil constitutionnel
Why?
Laws are passed by Parliament, that is, the National Assembly and the Senate; the people can also adopt a law by referendum. The President of the Republic promulgates the law, that is, signs it so that it applies, but does not vote on it. The Constitutional Council (Conseil constitutionnel) can check that it respects the Constitution.
