Abstract

The activity of some great politicians and statesmen of the time was of particular importance for the

achievement of the Great Union in 1918. A remarkable personality of that time is Ion I.C. Brătianu. In

this study we recall the great politician and statesman and in particular his major contribution to the

adoption of the Constitution of 1923 which conferred constitutional significance to the great Union; he also

contributed to the legislation adopted on the basis of the Fundamental Law from 1923 which aligned the

Romanian state to the European states. The study outlines the historical context and content of the

Declarations adopted in 1918 by which the Romanian provinces under foreign rule joined the Kingdom of

Romania. We consider that these documents are legal and political acts of constitutional value that are

important for Romanian constitutionalism.
