  Abstract:  The Debate Upon the Legal Status of the Jews in the Romanian Parliament. The present paper aims at discussing the aspects concerning the final regulation of the legal status of the Romanian Jews as mirrored in the debates of the highest legislative body of the country, the Romanian Parliament. In the period under discussion, one may speak about a worsening of the legal status of the Romanian Jews, evolution marked by three crucial moments: the St. Germain Treaty with Austria (September 10, 1919) including the Treaty for the Minorities (December 9, 1919); the Romanian Constitution of 1923 and the Mârzescu Laws of February 1924. The paper emphasizes the endeavors of the Union of the Land Jews to get the insertion of article 7 of the Minorities Treaty in the Constitution, the interventions of the Jewish senators and members of the Parliament and the reaction of the Jewish press. The legal status of the Romanian Jews found its solution in the final text of article 133 of the Constitution, which ratified the Brătianu Laws as well as the body of previous naturalization decrees.
