ABSTRACT.
This article is replying to Professor Vladimir Hanga’s core ideas about the Wallachian Proclamation of Islaz (1848) from both an analytical and hermeneutical point of view. It argues against the Proclamation’s nature of a bill of rights, stressing its peculiar ethos and lack of clear liberal goals; it confirms V. Hanga’s allegations about the influence of the French revolutionary ‘declarations des droits’ but it emphasizing the overwhelming influence of the French 1848 Constitution; it is backing a hermeneutical perspective that is trying to explain the content and ethos of the Proclamation through the lens of the Romanian philosopher and writter Ion Heliade Rădulescu.
Keywords: Proclamation of Islaz, modern Romanian constitutionalism, constitutional transplant, Romanticism, Historicism
