Summary/Abstract: One of the greatest personalities of modern history of Romania is the liberal leader C.A. Rosetti (1816-1885). He effectively tried to improve the situation of the poor peasantry by abolishing the coercive principles in the agricultural laws. Thus the National Liberal Party saw itself forced to modify the Constitution in 1884 in order to compensate for the decline in the number of sympathizers among the landowners.
