Abstract
The fate of France’s political and constitutional history, which had been rife with instability, was altered with the establishment of the Fifth Republic. However, the transition to a new political system was quite painful. Moreover, system debates continued after the proclamation of the Fifth Republic. Especially the 1962 constitutional amendment process left France faced with a new political crisis. This research aims to reveal how Charles de Gaulle, the first president of the Fifth Republic, had an effect on the shaping of French politics and overcoming the political crises that led to the system debates.

Abstract
Fransa’nın istikrarsızlıkla dolu siyasi ve anayasal tarihinin kaderi, Beşinci Cumhuriyet’in kurulmasıyla değişti. Ancak yeni bir siyasi sisteme geçiş oldukça sancılı oldu. Üstelik sistem tartışmaları Beşinci Cumhuriyet’in ilanından sonra da devam etti. Özellikle 1962 anayasa değişikliği süreci Fransa’yı yeni bir siyasi krizle karşı karşıya bırakmıştır. Bu araştırma, Beşinci Cumhuriyet’in ilk cumhurbaşkanı Charles de Gaulle’ün Fransız siyasetinin şekillenmesinde ve sistem tartışmalarına yol açan siyasi krizlerin aşılmasında nasıl bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.
