On 12 January 1938, Goga stripped all Romanian Jews of their Romanian citizenship, a preparatory move towards Goga's ultimate goal of the expulsion of all Romanian Jews. Carol was personally not an anti-Semite, but in the words of his biographer Paul D. Quinlan the king was "simply indifferent" to the sufferings of his Jewish subjects caused by Goga's oppressive anti-Semitic laws.Quinlan, Paul The Playboy King, Westpoint: Greenwood Press, 1995 page 182. The opportunistic Carol did not believe in antisemitism anymore than he believed in anything else other than power, but if raison d'Etat meant tolerating an anti-Semitic government as the price of power, Carol was quite prepared to sacrifice the rights of his Jewish subjects.

Once effective cannons were available, walls were of far less defensive value and rulers needed expensive field armies to keep control of a territory. This encouraged the formation of princely and kingly states, which needed to tax the common people much more heavily to pay for the expensive weapons and armies required to provide security in the new age. Up until the late 15th century, surviving medieval treaties on government were concerned with advising rulers on how to serve the common good: Assize of Bread is an example of medieval law specifically drawn up in the interests of the common people. But then works by Philippe de Commines, Niccolò Machiavelli and later Cardinal Richelieu began advising rulers to consider their own interests and that of the state ahead of what was "good", with Richelieu explicitly saying the state is above morality in doctrines such as Raison d'Etat.

The minister was however forced in 1993 by the Conseil d'Etat to appoint Raes in a function equivalent to his previous one, and he became director general for Legislation and Cults within the Ministry of Justice, remaining in this function until his retirement in 1997. Of this removal, the former minister of Justice Jean Gol wrote: My successor sacrificed this high ranking civil servant ("ce grand commis") to a sort of "raison d'Etat", made out of a mixture of socialist rancour and the concern of protecting his own image. I had always refused to sanction the administrator-general, who was the victim of the gossip by journalists in pursuit of juicy scoops, by victims of a persecution complex, and by condemned criminals. Two parliamentary commissions and numerous judicial inquiries revealed nothing which could have tarnished the reputation of this public servant (Librement, p. 167).
