Daniel Fodorean - Citizenship, constitutionalism and democracy. A reflection on a society in transition from totalitarianism to democracy.
Abstract
Romania, a former communist and monarchical country, can serve as a case study regarding how different forms of government have influenced the understanding and application of citizenship. How the citizen was understood and how citizenship was acquired or lost reflects the values that have been the basis of Romanian society at every stage of its evolution since the establishment of the Romanian state, in 1859, until now. The assumption is that each of the seven constitutions that Romania had, expresses citizenship in a specific way, associated with the form of government.
