Abstract
The political and constitutional thought of the statesman André Tardieu had a direct influence upon the decisive choices taken by the founders of the Fifth Republic concerning the constitution. Criticising the parliamentary system of disbalance in favour of the legislative power, the instability of governmens, and the inefficieny of electoral coalitions, the revisionist movement of the thirties suggested a change of institutions for the purpose of establishing a balance between the powers of government. A quarter of a century later the means suggested for the renewal of executive power were introduced into the constitutio by de Gaulle.
