Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the issue of local public administration from the standpoint of the Romanian Constitutional Court jurisprudence, a political and legal institution designed to achieve the prior and subsequent control of the law and Government orders. Four normative acts are analyzed, all with an impact on local public administration, namely: the local public administration law, the law on the status of local elected officials, the law on the election of local public authorities, the law regarding political parties. These acts were subject to constitutional review by the Constitutional Court, some of which underwent modifications as a result of the acceptance of a plea of unconstitutionality against certain legal provisions of their contents. By the way it manifests itself in the institutional Romanian landscape, the Constitutional Court gained place its de facto, not only de jure, within the category of public authorities defending democracy and the rule of law.
