摘要
代议制理论存在诸多缺陷,根本之点在于片面推崇间接民主、议会民主而排斥直接民主,致使代议制民主形式无法实现人民主权的实质目标。应深入探讨直接民主的必要性和可能性,揭示直接民主最基本、最普遍的实现方式——全民公决权的内涵、价值及适用条件,并将全民公决权同基层自治相结合,扩大公民有序政治参与途径,构建间接民主和直接民主相互补充、相互衔接的当代民主宪政理论和制度体系。
Theory of representative system bears many shortcomings.The root of them lies in the unilateral value put on indirect democracy,parliamentary democracy while ruling out the direct democracy.Thus representative system fails to realize the objectives of popular sovereignty.The necessities and possibilities of direct democracy need to be further explored.Referendum,as the most direct and prevalent way of democracy realizing,needs to be revealed as far as its meaning,value and applied conditions are concerned.Working with grassroots self-governing organizations, referendum is helpful to enlarge channels of citizens' participations in politics. Institution of contemporary democratic constituency is expected to be constructed complementary to direct democracy and indirect democracy.
