ARTICLE 49.3 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF 4 OCTOBER 1958: ANTIDOTE OR POWER GRAB?


Abstract

Article 49.3 of the Constitution of 4 October 1958 has recently been subject to criticism, after it was invoked by the
prime minister. In fact, there has been an ongoing debate about its use as a tool of streamlined parliamentarianism
since the start of the 5th Republic. However, a detailed examination of how it actually works and the hypotheses on the
basis of which it has been implemented enables us to qualify these criticisms and demonstrate its usefulness, both past
and present.

Keywords:  Constitutional law; France; Constitution; 5th Republic; streamlined parliamentarianism; article 49.3 of the
Constitution; Constitution of 4 October 1958; political responsibility; government; executive.
