Summary/Abstract: Under the communist regime, Romanian society “benefited” by the provisions of three constitutions - those of 1948, 1952 and 1965. Though allegedly submitted to debate by the masses of people, those fundamental laws mirrored not the will of the entire Romanian society but the will of a single political party, the communist party, which had arrogated all the powers of the state, holding an absolute monopoly over decision-making. The democratic provisions were applied only in part. Subordination of the state bodies was accompanied also by subordination of economic affairs and, implicitly, by a total enslavement of the individual.
