Abstract:
The idea of family represents a concept almost as old as law. The sense that we give to family is oscillating between legal definitions and social and human concepts. The year of 2018 brought to the attention of all a natural question: how can we define family from the constitutional, legal and human perspective? The organization of a referendum by the Romanian authorities in what concerns the redefinition of the family in the Constitution brought great controversies. By starting from this legal action (the referendum), we are trying to analyze, by means of it, what does this old, but at the same time new concept, mean: the family.
