The Third Republic never had a constitution, just a group of laws establishing the branches of government. It may be technically a new republic, but I say it's just writing down a list of laws for the current government. I wanted to do it because reading up on the Third Republic showed me that it couldn't keep a PM to save its life. The President was more sort of a ceremonial role, elected by the legislatures. The PM was the head of government, but the system was so unstable that government's were constantly being reformed and reformed again. I want to make it more like the Fifth Republic, the President is elected by the people and is commander-in-chief of French armed forces and handles diplomacy while the PM is appointed by the President and handles the cabinet and domestic affairs. I understand that the the PM and President were weak under the Third Republic was for a reason, the last president elected by the French people pulled a coup and had himself declared Napoleon III, and the Second Republic became the Second Empire.
