Answer to Question 1

France has a bicameral legislature. The bicameral legislature is composed of the directly elected lower house, the National Assembly, and the indirectly elected upper house, the Snat. Like presidents, National Assembly members serve five-year terms although the president has the power to dissolve the body and call for early elections. The electoral institutions for other French representative bodiessuch as the upper house of parliament, as well as regional, district, and local governmentsdiffer substantially from the system for the presidential and National Assembly elections. Most of the nearly 350 members of the Snat, for example, are indirectly electedprimarily by local elected authoritiesfor six-year terms, with one half elected every three years.
