The 第五共和制, or Fifth Republic, is the current republican government system in France, established in 1958. It was created to provide a stable political framework following a period of political instability and frequent changes in government. The Fifth Republic introduced a strong presidency, giving the president significant powers, including the ability to dissolve the National Assembly. Under the Fifth Republic, the constitution emphasizes the separation of powers and the role of the Prime Minister as the head of government. This system has allowed for more consistent governance and has shaped modern French politics, influencing both domestic and international policies.
