Ce atribuții a avut primul guvern al României: Miniștrii puteau fi judecați pentru risipirea banilor publici

The first Romanian government was formed on January 22, 1862, led by Barbu Catargiu, appointed by Alexandru Ioan Cuza. Catargiu's term lasted only four months, ending with his assassination on June 8, 1862. His government focused on state organization and the unification of administrative structures. The period marked significant political changes, including the establishment of a single parliament and the recognition of Romania's capital, Bucharest. Catargiu's tenure was characterized by debates over agrarian reform and political tensions, culminating in his assassination, which remains unsolved. His legacy includes the controversial rural law that was not enacted due to national interests.
