In a larger sense, it illustrates a transformation in the method of regulating state action and decision, in the sense that decision-making passes from elected representatives to high level officials. Although this was not a sudden change but occurred over time, it heralded the modernising experiments of the first years of the Gaullist Republic, in particular the determination to propose a complete overhaul of communal organisation by doing away with groupings of elected representatives
