Abstract

This article focuses on political conditions in Romania during 1919. The Cabinet represents neither itself, nor the King, nor the people, nor the army, to which most of its members belong, but the Liberal party, of which J.C. Bratianu is the leader, owner and controller. Although Romania has a model Constitution, for one reason or another its provisions have never been put into effect. There is a Court of Cassation, analogous to the U.S. Supreme Court in its authority, which on most occasions lends itself to the purposes of the government that happens to be in power. Elections are never honestly conducted. The party controlling the elections generally wins.
