| |
| The French Republic has 3 branches of government with checks and balances, so that one part of the government doesn't become too powerful. A bill becomes a law only if it is approved by the government. An order is a directive-it is not permanent, and it might need funding by the government depending on what it is.

|
| |
| • The Legislative Branch is the only branch that can create Bills.

| • The Executive Branch consists of the President and the Prime Minister.
| |

| |
