WRITTEN IN FRENCH

At the heart of democracy!

What is the purpose of the Constitutional Council? What is its role in democracy and its place in the Constitution of the Fifth Republic ? This institution, located rue de Montpensier under the arcades of the Royal Palace, is one of the least known of all the institutions of the regime in place since 1958. However, it is essential to the balance and sustainability of our democracy, all by showing itself capable of significant developments to get closer and closer to the citizens of our country. With mischief, a lot of cleverness, benevolent irony and their good humor, two authors invite us to explore the corridors, backstage and backyards of this important place and to better understand what is happening there. How is the Constitutional Council a tool close to each and every one of us when we are little aware of it? What internal revolutions has it carried out since its origins, transfiguring it into a guarantor of citizen rights and freedoms? Where does the rule that the Constitution takes precedence over the law come from? Who are the nine wise men and how are they designated? Here are some of the questions and answers that are unfolding before our eyes.
Telling the behind the scenes of power in a fun way so that they no longer have any secrets from you, such is the challenge that Marie Bardiaux-Vaïente and Gally have met with flying colors, offering a curious and uncompromising look into the legal mysteries and architectural aspects of the place. Through this documented graphic novel, they offer us a fascinating dive into the heart of the Republic and our rights and freedoms.
