Summary/Abstract: The control of the constitutionality of laws was transplanted in 1911 from the north-American legal system into the Romanian one via the French legal doctrine. The adoption of the 1991 Constitution introduced a new legal import with regard to the control of the constitutionality of laws, this time inspired by ideas identified in Europe. However, the Romanian legal terminology showed such a resistance to changes that it has successfully impregnate the new form of constitutional review with older models, imported in 1911.
