  Arrondissement - LoveToKnow 1911
It is the electoral district for the chamber of deputies, each arrondissement returning one member; if the population is in excess of ioo,000 it is divided into two or more constituencies.
Each arrondissement has a council, with as many members as there are cantons, whose function is to subdivide among the communes their quota of the direct taxes charged to the arrondissement by the general council of the department.
(See France.) Somewhat different from the arrondissements of the department are the arrondissements (20 in number) into which Paris is divided.
