The legislative programme elaborated by the new government was spectacular. The reforms in question continued to be processed despite the war and the critical state of domestic affairs.

These reforms provided for the safeguarding of justice, the purging of administration, the better functioning of public finances and the modernization of the armed forces. The overall legislative work of Venizelos was completed in the following inter-war period.

The preparatory committees (regarding the law) established after the formation of the first government, in 1910, dealt with the drafting of the Civil Code and the revision of the Civil Procedure, the Criminal law and the Criminal Procedure and Commercial Law.

The public finance system was reorganized in a more just way and taxation of people's total income was introduced.

Considerable modernizations were introduced to the field of private law, in accordance with the developments of the time. It was typical of these modernizations that the new statutes stood the test of time.

In terms of social policy, certain reforms were introduced to relieve the poorer classes; these included a ban on the consfiscation of property of people on a low wage who were in debt.

The Greek state had not hitherto been seriously concerned with labour legislation. But Venizelos's government of 1910-15 began the institution of a labour policy by acknowledging the increasing class competition and his willingness to appease the workers and prevent their political radicalization. In this way the foundations of labour legislation were laid in Greece, and, although the resulting laws fell short of what was in effect internationally in this period, the overall policies attempted to cover the whole range of labour relations.

Involvement in the First World War and the National Schism appear to have impeded much legislative activity. Yet considerable legislative work was nonetheless accomplished and paved the way for the modernization of the institutions of the Greek state.
