The Convention, therefore, came into being with a Herculean task, an extremely difficult task ahead of it. Nevertheless, we must also admit that in almost half a century we have built up an astonishing wealth of institutional and lawmaking experience and we have developed a style of politics that is unique on the world scene and of which we should be proud.
La Convention est donc investie d’une mission très difficile dès sa naissance, mais il nous faut reconnaître qu’en presque un demi-siècle, nous avons accumulé un extraordinaire patrimoine institutionnel et législatif et nous avons affiné un style politique qui est unique sur la scène mondiale, ce dont nous pouvons être fiers.
