Constantin Cantacuzino-Pașcanu
Romanian politician
Constantin Cantacuzino-Pașcanu (1856–January 30, 1927) was a Romanian politician.
Born into the Moldavian branch of the boyar Cantacuzino family, his father Lascarache was a vornic. After completing legal studies at the University of Paris, Cantacuzino returned home and joined the Conservative Party. He was first elected deputy in 1891 and senator in 1903. From the time of its founding in 1908, he was a prominent member of the Conservative-Democratic Party.
Cantacuzino served as President of the Assembly of Deputies twice: February to April 1907 and December 1912 to January 1914. A number of laws were passed under his watch, including one for organizing the Romanian Army and another ratifying the Treaty of Bucharest. In the summer of 1914, he took part in the meetings of the Crown Council held at Sinaia, arguing for Romania's neutrality in World War I. Two years later, he took part in the Crown Council meeting at Cotroceni Palace, voting for Romania's entry into the war on the side of the Allies. He became a senator by right in 1926, and died the following year at Neuilly-sur-Seine.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Constantin Cantacuzino-Pașcanu” as romanian politician. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as romanian politician. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q28924118. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1856, 1927, 1891 and 1903.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
