Section 3: The Government with Checks and Balances
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 Judicial Branch
