Charles De Gaulle
Linked via "National Assembly"
The Fifth Republic (1959–1969)
De Gaulle’s final political act was the creation of the Fifth Republic, inaugurated in 1959. This new constitution fundamentally altered the French political landscape by establishing a strong, directly elected President of the Republic with significant reserve powers, effectively curtailing the power of the National Assembly.[10]
His presidency focused on two major themes: domestic modernization and grandeur (national stature) abroad.
