French Constitutional Laws of 1875

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Constitutional Laws of 1875 are the laws passed in France by the National Assembly between February and July 1875 which established the Third French Republic.

The constitution laws could be roughly divided into three laws:

The Act of February 24, 1875 - The organization of the Senate
The Act of February 25, 1875 - The organization of government
The Act of July 16, 1875 - The relationship between governments

This was the only time that a republic in France was not defined or organized by a genuine constitution. The laws were legally revoked only during the promulgation of The French Constitution of 1946.
