Abstract:
The Constitution of a State, as an assembly of fundamental juridical norms and principles must periodically be adjusted to the challenges of the contemporary political society, for its modern existence and functioning. As no Constitution can be perpetual, much more one elaborated at the beginning of a transitional period from a totalitarian regime to a democratic one, the revision of our fundamental law appears as unavoidable, together with the whole set of consequences on the separation and balance of powers, public administration, etc.
\r\nThe scope of the present article is limited to the discussion of the aspects concerning the impact of the foreseen Romanian constitutional modifications on the national public administration, especially on two major issues: the administrative reorganization of the State and the aspects concerning the constitutional consecration of human rights in relation to public administration. Making use of the experiences of other EU countries in these fields and on the basis of a historical approach and comparative analysis, our paper proposes the adoption of scientific grounded solutions for the future amendment of the fundamental law.
