Abstract

My article, concentrating on a topic that is still viable nowadays, belongs to the field of political history and presents an important feature of the Romanian political life. The process of modernisation of the Romanian state and society was strengthened in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. There were major changes at the political, social, economic and cultural level. The present article proposes to analyse the relationship between the electoral system and the two-party system while investigating historical facts through the support of political science tools.
