Proposition de loi constitutionnelle visant à ajouter le principe de laïcité à notre devise nationale

This is a French private member's bill (proposition de loi constitutionnelle) that would add the principle of laïcité, or secularism, to the national motto. The motto, currently "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité", is set out in the Constitution, so changing it would require amending the constitutional text. The proposal was tabled in the National Assembly during the 15th legislature. This summary is based on the procedure's metadata only, not the full text of the bill. If adopted, the change would affect the wording of the national motto and the constitutional definition of the Republic's symbols. Constitutional amendments in France require approval by both chambers in identical terms, followed by either a referendum or a three-fifths majority of Parliament convened in Congress. Citizens, public institutions, and the wider debate on secularism would be most directly affected.
