France's Assemblée nationale brings together 577 directly elected deputies to make laws and scrutinise the government. It shares parliamentary work with the Senate. Voters choose deputies in single-member constituencies through two-round elections. The Assembly traces its origins to 17 June 1789.
At the Palais Bourbon, deputies carry out their legislative and scrutiny duties in the debating chamber, committees, delegations and working groups. Their constituency work includes meetings with residents, associations, elected officials and representatives of the state. The Assembly's work also includes questions to ministers, inquiries and scrutiny of how laws are applied. It publishes proposed laws and amendments alongside the texts it adopts and the reports that examine them.
