Abstract
The principle of separation of powers divides the functions of the state into legislative, administrative, and judicial branches and entrusts them to independent state institutions, and controls the power of the state through mutual checks and balances. However, the political situation in the modern state has changed significantly compared to the past, namely, the separation of powers has changed due to the development of the party state, and the administrative and national phenomenon has emerged in which the domain of administrative authority is enlarged and enlarged to fulfill social and national tasks.
 Meanwhile, due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic response measures, the power fusion phenomenon (the goal of improving the efficiency of the executive branch) has appeared in each country, where the executive and legislative branches are connected, and the French Republic is no exception. In other words, it is an undeniable fact that the fusion of powers contributed greatly to effectively responding to and taking measures against the COVID-19 pandemic, which is called a national disaster.
 However, the phenomenon of power fusion would be said to have both sides like two sides of a coin. First of all, the power fusion phenomenon on the positive side is that, as mentioned above, when a country faces a national disaster such as the Corona 19 virus pandemic, it can stabilize the situation quickly and without major fluctuations by strengthening the efficiency of the administration. Next, the negative aspects of power fusion have concerns about power concentration and dictatorship, which is directly linked to human rights violations, so the human rights protection system should be strengthened and operated.
