In a democratic society, the judicial legitimacy of the state and its power, of its institutions, but also the social and political grounds are generated anddetermined by the Constitution, defined as expressively as possible as being: “The fundamental political and judicial settlement of a people” (I. Deleanu)The supremacy of the Constitution has as main effect the conformity of the entire system of law withthe constitutional norms. Guaranteeing the compliance with this principle, essential for the state of law, is first of all an attribution of the Constitutional Court, but also an obligation of the legislative power to receive, through the adopted normative acts, in content and in form, the constitutional norms.

The communitarian legislator is concerned about the creation of minimal norms with the purpose of removing the obstacles standing in the way of the free movement of citizens within the territory of the Member States. The consolidation of the procedural safeguards recognized for the suspects, accused and wanted persons represents an element of analysis in this regard.According to the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the judicial cooperation in criminal matters within the European Union shall be based on the principle of mutual recognition of judgments and judicial decisions.The transfer into practice of this principle is based on the premise that each Member State trusts the criminal justice systems of the other states. The extension of the principle of the mutual recognition depends on a series of parameters, which include protection mechanisms for the rights of the persons suspected and accused and common minimal standards, necessary for the smooth application of this principle.

Having regard to the constitutional provisions concerning the national public budget, which establish, as a matter of principle, that thenational public budget comprises the State budget, the State social security budget, and the local budgets of parishes, towns, and counties[1], made up mostly from fees, as well as from other revenues, in this paper, I intend to examine to what extent the separate imposition of non-harmonised direct taxes is compatible with the constitutional provisions on the fair distribution of the tax burden. In this context, I note that the constitutional legislature itself has foreseen the possibility of setting up funds, available to entities, but provided that the amounts representing contributions to such funds be used exclusively for their intended purpose. Such contributions complement the budgetary resources and the imposition thereof can be achieved through infraconstitutional rules. One example is Government Emergency Ordinance no. 77/2011 establishing a contribution to finance expenditures on health.

Certainly the principles of law are in relationship with human nature and they reflect the ideal of justice of the communities of people according to the social values that burden each and every society individually, and the thinkers of Ancient Greece thought it appropriate that law and implicitly, the general principles of law, existed since before the state did, being valued above it. The principles expressed by the UNO Charter, have a jus cogens character, meaning man cannot depart from them due to the fact that their juridical value is imperative. The UNO Charter also defends and promotes the rule of law, a fundamental cornerstone of democracy.

Very true statement. As one who had some concerns in this regard and tried by some papers to have my say on how it is done in concrete constitutional democracy and how it works practically rule of law in our country we have found it necessary to draw up several opinions . In principle I agree that there have been great efforts to reform the Romanian constitutional realityrecognized part of Euro-Atlantic bodies of which Romania is part, however, are overshadowed or even challenged by various analyzes that highlight the existence of failures or serious shortcomings in our constitutionalism which, unfortunately, not much canbe fully challenged, they are visible and perceived as such even in the reality of the constitutional system. This article attempts to cap the contemporary law issues analyzed multidisciplinary author previous other materials through innovative approaches, the proposed solutions, the originality of the research scientific, regarded even by right relationships with the principle of proportionality and the specifics of their interaction.

This paper aims to provide a synthetic and diachronic presentation of the constitutional right of ownership in Romania. The Constitution of 1991, in effect, amended in 2003, divided property into public and private property. The right of private ownership has gradually limited its sphere over time. In the past, it included one’s right of ownership on the natural resources of the soil and subsoil. The Constitution of 1866 did not specify anything about the exclusive rightof the state on mineral resources. Carp Law from 1895 introduced underground metalliferous resources in the property of the state. The Constitution of 1923 extended the state’s right over almost all mineral resources, including oil. The introduction of this principle triggered strong debate at the time.
