Abstract

Turning to the democratic traditions of the Romanian people in the legislative process of enactment of the revision law on the Romanian Constitution, seems to indicate an unexpected need of re-affirmation of the legitimacy of the fundamental law and its constitutional and contemporary sources, as more as the constitutional moment is desired to be future oriented, this being dedicated mainly to the creation of the needed constitutional mechanisms for the Euro-Atlantic integration of the country. What was apparently just a legislative “happening” raises the question of some existing causes, of the motivation for turning to our historic past and of finding a relation between what is considered to be democratic tradition of the Romanian people and this type of legitimacy in the constitutional evolution of Romania in the framework of a longer debate about the concept and sources of legitimacy in general and about the constitutional legitimacy in special.
