Receptarea doctrinei statului de drept în anteproiectul de Constituție al lui Constantin Stere
The reception of the doctrine of the rule of law in the Draft Constitution of Constantin Stere

Summary/Abstract: The main thesis of this paper is that the Draft Constitution redacted in 1922 by Constantin Stere on behalf of the Peasant Party’s Study Centre (Centru de studii al Partidului Țărănesc) comes closest to the requirements of a rule-of-law-system, and surpasses all similar endeavours carried out at the time. Stere’s proposed regulatory solutions on the relationship between municipal law and international legal commitments, especially in the field of minority protection, on basic rights and freedoms – with emphasis on personal freedom and habeas corpus – on election process and parliamentary practice were of such nature as to give efficiency and real substance to the general provisions of the Constitution. These regulatory solutions were able to put Romania on the path of a political and institutional evolution in complete accordance with the principles of the rule of law.
