The constitutional philosophy and practice in the Romanian Principalities in 1765-1832

Summary/Abstract: The Romanian modern institutional organisation was part of a general continental process, which included in its becoming the patterns of the Latin states. The history of the Romanian constitutionalism had been preceded by a transition era that had created the necessary background for the transition fromthe establishment of the Old Regime towards the Organic Regulations – the first fundamental organisational laws of the Romanian Principalities. The period that followed after 1750, when the reforms of Constantin Mavrocordat and Alexandru Ipsilanti appeared, announcing an enlightened absolutist monarchy, was of a great importance in the ulterior constitutional development of the Romanian Principalities. During this period, which was that of memoires and bills, there appeared the elements of a certain synchronisation with the constitutional tradition, founded on the documents elaborated in the age of the Revolution from 1789.
