The Mechanism of Government Alternation during the Reign of Charles I. The Establishment of an Organised Alternation between the National Liberal Party (NLP) and the Conservative Party (CP) (1895-1914)

The reign of Charles I favoured the indigenous process of formation of a two-party system of government, which, although following the British model, had its own particularities that were specific to the local Romanian political realm. The last part of Charles I’s reign can be defined through this establishment of the two-party system of government between the years 1895-1914, discernible in the organised alternation of government during this specific period of time. Gradually, this mechanism of government alternation became habitual ? a kind of custom of the Romanian politics of the age. Thus, during the period 1895-1914, the establishment of the Romanian twoparty system of government was actualised through the implementation of an organised alternation of government between the National Liberal Party (NLP) and the Conservative Party (CP).
