The constituent national assembly emerged from the Estates General (États généraux) in 1789 . The president changed at short intervals on the rotation principle . This also applied to the subsequent Legislative Assembly (1791–1792) and the National Convention (1792–1795). With the establishment of the Directory in 1795, the two-chamber system was created. The lower one, the Council of Five Hundred , granted its chairmen only a short term of office.

Under Napoleon Bonaparte , the Corps législatif (legislative body) had every power to enact laws, but it lacked the opportunity to debate - which is why the laws were in fact only sealed.

With the restoration of the monarchy in 1814, the two-chamber system was restored. On the one hand the Chamber of Pairs , on the other the Chamber of Deputies , which for the first time elected its presidents for a substantial term of office.

With the February Revolution of 1848 , the royal assemblies were dissolved and replaced by the National Assembly. After the end of the Second Republic , it replaced Napoleon III. by a variant of his uncle's corps législatif.

In the Third Republic , the name of the House of Representatives was again given to the House of Representatives, and in 1876 the House of Lords was established with the Senate . With the Constitution of the Fourth Republic, the Chamber of Deputies was renamed the National Assembly - that's what it is still called today.
