This academic paper delves into the intricate evolution of Romanian presidentialism from 1974 to 2024, exploring ethical, philosophical, political, and historical dimensions. Drawing from thinkers like Locke and Hegel, it emphasizes the delicate balance between power and ethical responsibility in a democratic society. Ceaușescu's era marked the introduction of the presidency, concentrating power in a quasi-monarchical fashion, lacking checks and balances. The post-communist transition witnessed legal delimitation and depoliticization. Băsescu's presidency brought direct involvement, while Iohannis's displayed initially reserved and yet after increased participation. The study underscores the complex interplay between power, ethics, and constitutional evolution, providing valuable insights for Romania's political system future.
