Constitution Day in Romania is observed every December 8 to commemorate the approval of the Constitution of Romania in 1991. Although it is not a public holiday, this official observance features speeches, educational activities, and various events that reflect on the significance of the constitution. The current constitution was adopted following the fall of the Communist regime in December 1989, which had imposed a constitution based on Soviet law since 1948. A special committee of constitutional law specialists and parliamentarians drafted the new constitution, which was approved by Romania's Parliament on November 21, 1991, and subsequently ratified by a constitutional referendum on December 8, 1991, with nearly 80% voter approval. The day serves as a reminder of Romania's transition to democracy and the establishment of its legal framework.
