3 august 1944 - 30 decembrie 1947. Regimuri politice și regimuri constituționale
August 23,1994 - December 30,1947. Political and Constitutional Regimes

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores, from a constitutional angle, the political transformations taking place in Romania between August 23,1944 and the forced abdication of King Michael. By resorting to the reinterpretation of a number of legal docu­ments and political writings, the paper argues to what extent the apparent return to the 1923 Romanian constitution was essentially a deceptive one, since it is in this period that the foundations of a new totalitarian order were laid. A parti­cular attention is paid to the role played by Lucrețiu Pătrășcanu, acting as Minister of Justice in the governments preparing the transition towards the imposition of the Soviet-style popular republic.
