What can the history of Number Two teach us about the emergence of the function of prime minister? While this position, submitted to the pressure of Number One and of the Parliament or the Court is particularly difficult to occupy, it proves necessary so long as a process of division of labour is being implemented. Number Two is often the backbone of elaborate political organisations, acting as a linchpin between the different powers. The prime ministers ofthe Fifth Republic are therefore, to some extent, the heirs of the Super Ministers and Vizirs of the past.
