They declared independence and decided to force the motherland from their new country.…

What a presidential system of government embodies is that, the head of the government is also the head of state, in addition to this, the head of government is in charge of the executive branch; while a parliamentary system of government emphasis is on passing laws in which the executive branches will one day carry out. France by having this hybrid form of government, there needs to be a balance so both these systems of government can coincide with one another.

said De Rossi. The French enfold style and modernity and take pride in the way that even their public spaces strike a majestic tone.
