Referendumul republican – instrument al democrației [Articol]

Abstract

The referendum, as an instrument of exercising democracy, is ever more popular nowadays, both nationally and internationally. The republican referendum requires regulation by a separate law, as is the case of the states with advanced democracy, which would not only ensure the participation of the citizens to governing the country, but would also serve as a mechanism for cultural development and furthering citizens’ juridical acumen, raising their awareness of the stringent problems of the state. In addition, it could also act as a way of overcoming political problems or crises.
