For a long time the Phanariot age was considered a dark era and the reforming Prince Constantin Mavrocordat’s modernizing activity almost ignored. The signification of the Phanariot Prince’s reform policy has to be revalued in the European and Romanian context of the 18th century. The enlighted Prince would reform the administration, justice, fiscal system and education setting up unexistent institutions at that time in Romanian Countries. Both in history and especially in culture, his role as a reformer is undisputable. His efforts in modernizing the Romanian society carried out in a document published in “Mercure de France”, 1742 with a suggestive title as Constitution. His reigns signified a renovating period of the political, social, administration and enlightment ideas.
