THE RELATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AND ADMINISTRATION IN FRANCE — AN HISTORICAL REVIEW

Summary/Abstract: In this review, the author discusses the relations between government and administration over an historical period, divided into four parts. The first period ends in 1789; during this time the King sold positions of employment in publice services. Services was actually a function delegated by the Monarch for a consideration, and yielded a steady salary. Positions in the services were even inherited. A system such as this finally led to the establishment of administration capable of contesting the power of the government. There was also the rank of commissar; these officers were appointed and dismissed from office by the King himself. The second was the period of the Revolution and elected administration. Only active citizens who paid taxes had the right to vote; only the роsitions of the high-ranking officers of the administration were filled in this manner. Third is the period of the Empire, in which the administration was ruled by the power of the Dictator. Public function (services) was created under Napoleon. A hierarchy of public officers was established, according to function and position. Administrative Law bom during this period. The fourth is the period of the Parliametary regime and the administration was subjected to its rule. This period is characterised by instability and the frequent coming and going of the ministers elected by the Parliament, on the other hand, by the stability of the administration. The Cabinet of Ministers was set up for the first time, to enable relations with Parliament, the press, and various techical and professional services. There is a trend of strong influence of politics on the administration. A change of government or regime usually means a change of personnel in the administration as well. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the establishment of stable relations between the government and the administration was to be achieved through legislature.
