The Authoritarian Constitution versus the National Renaissance FrontKeywords: Constitution , the State , sole party , dictatorship , authoritarian , new regime Abstract: On February 27th, 1938 the Constitution laid the ideological and theoretical foundations for the birth of the sole party, called by the new regime The National Renaissance Front (NRF) and proclaimed as the only political entity in the state. The NRF was strongly militarized in all its management structures starting with the Directorate to the Superior National Council, because of its corporate-like structure according to constitutional principles and because people were only allowed and granted positions in the party, state or Parliament if they actually had a job. The constitutional order of the monarchy overwrote the stately European or native authoritarian theories by overestimating the state and minimalizing individual rights and freedom. At that time one would not know what regime people who voted for the new regime consecrated by the 27th of February 1938 Constitution had been living in and some of the parliament declarations of the regime’s representatives, when analysed critically, would try to bring light on the article ahead.
