My roommate always complains that I need to stop sleeping during the day because…

In France, anyone having lived in the country for a period of 5 years can be considered a citizen. Since men and women are equal in right, women are able to participate in political life to the same degree as men. In France, you are also considered a citizen if one of your parents is French,…
