论宪法对“人权”保障的意义和作用

On the Significance of Respect and Protection for "Human Rights" Written in the Constitution

中国首次将“国家尊重和保障人权”写进宪法,为我国民主宪政建设和政治体制改革奠定了坚实基础。建立法治社会的前提是公民社会的形成和政府的依法行政,只有当“人权”原则提升为宪法精神时,公民的民主政治权利才会得到真正的保护,我国的政治文明才会进步。

That China puts 'respect for human rights and protection of it' into the Constitution for the first time offers a strong basis for China's Construction of democracy and reform of its polity. The condition of building up a law-controlling society for all levels of governments is to take the public society in shape and to administer it by law. The public democratic rights will be really protected and the political civilization will be better only after the principles of human rights become one part of the Constitution.
