Abstract:
A Constitution is the most important law that a state has the fundamental one. It must inevitably reflect the historical moments in which is developed and reflects certain socio-political realities. The economical, social and political changes and new realities, the political power, the mentalities and traditions of the Romanian people, the fact that we are members of the European Union and of NATO and even the resources of life must be the ones who dictate the Constitution of our country. Any law requires, in time, certain adjustments. The possible modification, supplement or amendment of a Constitution must be regarded as an act of normality due to changes in society or some inconsistency between constitutional norms and social realities. The specialists ask themselves if it is enough to change, to modify or to add new articles or paragraphs or is better to have a new Constitutional law, with its own structure, a new foundation and a new way of seeing and saying the principles of democracy. The present article intends to analyze which of the two ways of changing the Constitution of one democratic state - the revision law and the recall followed by a new Constitutional law – is the one that should be operated in the case of Romania, in the present time.
