Alexandru-Sorin CIOBANU, Assistant Professor (Ph.D. candidate), The Issue of the Inalienability of State-Owned Property in Light of “Revolutionary Legislation” and the French Civil Code of 1804

This study aims to present several aspects of the historical evolution of the “public domain,” an essential institution of administrative law. Thus, the provisions of the “Domain Code” of 1790, the theories of the Civil Code of 1804, and the most important doctrinal theses from the early 19th century (particularly those of Professor Victor Proudhon) are analyzed. It also presents the effects that revolutionary legislation had on public assets through the abolition of the “Crown domain” and the creation of the “national domain,” along with the removal of the inalienability of its constituent assets.
