1.Introduction
The evolution of the Romanian constitutionalism describes the changes of
social and political life of society, numerous fundamentalchanges to the act and
their frequency highlighting a serious instability among political decision-makers
in the respective years, and reduced importance given to its supremacy. The
permanent concern to mainly concentrate political power at various state governing
bodies (Parliament, Presidency and Government - regardless of the historical stage
and form of organization), with the inherent tensions generated in the political and
sociallevel, was, on the one hand, the source of efforts to reform a constitutional
state, and, on the other hand, a factor which, unfortunately only sometimes,
managed to censor autocratic tendencies of some leaders.
