  • Comparative Politics
    Dr.Rishu Raj Assistant professor Department of Political Science M.M.College(P.U) [email protected] COMPARATIVE POLITICS Comparative study of The Constitution of Switzerland and France THE SWISS PARLIAMENT The Federal Assembly THE FEDERAL ASSEMBLY • The Federal Assembly is the legislative power of Switzerland. Its two chambers – the National Council and the Council of States –have the same powers but meet separately. Federal Assembly The National The Council Council of States The National Council • The National Council, or “lower chamber”, represents the people and comprises 200 members who are elected by popular vote for a four-year term. The number of representatives sent by each canton depends on the size of its population. As a rule of thumb, each canton may send one elected representative to the National Council for roughly every 40,000 inhabitants. • The Federal Constitution guarantees at least one seat per canton, even if the canton has fewer than 40,000 residents. The cantons of Appenzell-Ausserrhoden, AppenzellInnerrhoden, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Uri and Glarus send one National Council member each, whereas Zurich, the most heavily populated canton, currently has 35 seats. The Council of States • The Council of States, or “upper chamber”, represents the cantons and comprises 46 members, who are also elected directly by the people for a four-year term. Regardless of their population size, the cantons send two deputies, with the exception of the six half-cantons of AppenzellAusserrhoden, Appenzell-Innerrhoden, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Basel-Stadt and Basel-Land, which send one deputy each. • Council of States deputies represent their cantons but are not bound by any instructions from their cantonal government or parliament.

  • Spring Break in Paris
    Spring Break in Paris Friday, March 21st to Sunday, March 30th, 2014 What you’ll do . Friday, March 21st – You’ll depart from Huntsville or Nashville International Airport bound for Europe.

Saturday, March 22nd – After flying through the night, you’ll land at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. After collecting your luggage and passing through customs, you’ll transfer into the city, usually by train. On evening one, there’s a short time for resting and refreshing at the hotel before heading out into the city for dinner and some sightseeing. You will ascend the 58-story Tour Montparnasse for the best views of Paris as the sun goes down and the lights come on in the city. Sunday, March 23rd– You’ll visit the Royal Palace of Versailles, just outside of Paris. In addition to touring the palace itself, you’ll want to visit the gardens, since Sunday is the only day the world-famous fountains are turned on. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Grand and Petit Trianon, small palaces built by the king on the grounds of Versailles in order to escape the pressures of palace life. Also not to be missed is the village-like hameau of Marie Antoinette. Later, you’ll head back to Paris for dinner and a visit to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica in Montmartre, the bohemian quarter of Paris. In Montmartre, you’ll also visit the Place du Tertre, where an artist will paint your portrait for a price.

  • Paris History Early History Julius Caesar Conquered Paris in 52 BC It
    Paris History Early History Julius Caesar conquered Paris in 52 B.C. It was then a fishing village, called Lutetia Parisiorum (the Parisii were a Gallic tribe), on the Île de la Cité. Under the Romans the town spread to the left bank and acquired considerable importance under the later emperors. The vast catacombs under Montparnasse and the baths (now in the Cluny Mus.) remain from the Roman period. Legend says that St. Denis, first bishop of Paris, was martyred on Montmartre (hence the name) and that in the 5th cent. St. Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris, preserved the city from destruction by the Huns. On several occasions in its early history Paris was threatened by barbarian and Norman invasions, which at times drove the inhabitants back to the Île de la Cité. Clovis I and several other Merovingian kings made Paris their capital; under Charlemagne it became a center of learning. In 987, Hugh Capet, count of Paris, became king of France. The Capetians firmly established Paris as the French capital. The city grew as the power of the French kings increased. In the 11th cent. the city spread to the right bank. During the next two centuries—the reign of Philip Augustus (1180–1223) is especially notable for the growth of Paris—streets were paved and the city walls enlarged; the first Louvre (a fortress) and several churches, including Notre-Dame, were constructed or begun; and the schools on the left bank were organized into the Univ. of Paris. One of them, the Sorbonne, became a fountainhead of theological learning with Albertus Magnus and St.

  • WALK 2 | Jardin Du Luxembourg Start – Metro Station, Line 4 St-Germain-Des-Prés Approximate Length: 3.4 Km
    WALK 2 | Jardin du Luxembourg Start – Metro Station, Line 4 St-Germain-des-Prés Approximate Length: 3.4 km 7 8 10 9 N U = Underground Metro Station = Optional route Emerging from the Metro station, you will be on Boulevard Saint Germain. Go to Place Saint Germain des Prés. Pass by the café Les Deux Magots, and in the middle of the plaza across from the church, you will find a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 7 Place St. Germain des Prés, 6th Arr. This fountain is near the entrance to the old abbey church, Saint Germain des Prés. In warm months, the fountain is surrounded by outdoor seating for nearby cafes and restaurants. One 7 cafe is Les Deux Magots, made famous by its former clientele - lost generation writers, surrealist artists, and existentialist philosophers. Today, the cafe attracts tourists and those who want to feel they rubbed shoulders with the ghosts of long dead French intellectuals. Perhaps Hemingway or Sartre drank from this Wallace Fountain after they had too much to drink at Les Deux Magots. Saint Germain des Prés is the oldest church in Paris with parts dating back to the sixth century. If you have time, look inside. Undergoing renovation, it is slowly being restored to its original glory. Cross Boulevard St-Germain and walk south on Rue Bonaparte until you arrive at Place Saint-Sulpice. In the square and across the street from the town hall of the 6th arrondissement is a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 8 Place Saint-Sulpice, 6th Arr. At the southwest corner of the square stands the fountain.
