Assembly of France in 1945 and 1946.
As a member of parliament, he took
on important roles in the French government: Minister of Finance, Prime
Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Justice, becoming a
moral 
point of reference for the country and working for the creation of
a common system of economic and social growth. Together with Konrad
Adenauer and Alcide De Gasperi, he is considered one of the founding
fathers of a united Europe.
Their work led to the Treaty of Rome of 25
March 1957, which established the European Economic Community. In 1958
he was elected by acclamation as the first President of the new European
Parliament.
The following year he was struck down by a severe form of
