Summary/Abstract: In the middle of the discussions on the constitutional revision in Romania, there is to be considered a possible introduction into the new Romanian fundamental law of a preamble. It usually sets the reasons for the enactment of the statute and the purpose thereof. It was not used in the past, but in the recent years such preambles have been included in the constitutions of the former communist countries. The article will present some of the technical parts which are to be met in the content of a preamble and in the same time, there will be presented in this material three of the most suggestive preambles which should be useful examples for Romania, too.
