France's political institutions have undergone several changes since the 1789 revolution. The present constitution, adopted in 1958 and revised in 1962, established if Fifth Republic and provided for a powerful president, originally Charles De Gaulle, and a bicameral legislature with less power than it had in the past. The president is elected by direct popular vote for a 7 year term. He appoints the prime minister and may dissolve the National Assembly.
The legislature consists of a 318-member Senate elected indirectly by an electoral college, and politically more important 577-member, directly elected National Assembly. The National Assembly is elected every five years. The minimum voting age is 18 years.
