The Proclamation of Islaz (Romanian: Proclamația de la Islaz) was the program adopted on 9 June 1848 by Romanian revolutionaries during the Wallachian Revolution of 1848. It was written by Ion Heliade Rădulescu and publicly read at the small port town of Islaz in southern Wallachia. On 11 June, under pressure from the masses, Domnitor Gheorghe Bibescu was forced to accept the terms of the proclamation and recognise the provisional revolutionary government.[1]
Provisions
[edit]The Proclamation of Islaz has the form and value of a constitutional act. Between these 22 provisions are notably:
- The independence of the administration and legislature.
- Separation of powers.
- Equal rights of the people.
- The election of a responsible domnitor for a period of 5 years.
- Reduction of the civil lists of the domnitor.
- Emancipation of Jews and all other compatriots belonging to other rites.
- Emancipation of Gypsies.
- Equal instruction.
- Creation of a system of prisons.
- Creation of a national guard.
The location of Islaz (now in Teleorman County, then in Romanați County) was a small port on the Danube with some commercial significance, which, unlike the ports of Turnu Măgurele, Giurgiu and Calafat, was not under the direct control of the Turks.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
