中国社会主义宪政建设的历程及启示

Progress and Implications of Constructing Socialist Constitution in China

中国社会主义宪政建设是中国特色社会主义政治文明建设的重要组成部分。从1954年中华人民共和国宪法确立人民民主和社会主义原则,到2004年现行宪法修正案的公布和实施,中国社会主义宪政建设走过了整整50年的曲折发展历程。这一历程给我们的启示是:既要有一部好的宪法,更要实现宪法从法律理论形态向政治实践形态的转化;必须确立宪法至高无上的最高权威地位,从根本大法上为实现法治创造条件;必须建立稳定有效的宪法实施机制,切实保障宪法的全面实施;必须正确处理执政党与宪法的关系,坚持党的领导、人民当家作主和依法治国的有机统一。

Construction of socialist constitution is an important component of constructing socialist political civilization characteristics of Chinese style. Construction of the Chinese constitution has experienced a course of fifty-year, from 1954 when people's democracy was decided by the constitution to 2004 with publicity of the current amendment of the law. This is a complicated course full of hardships. Rich implications have been drawn from this historical course. They are as follows: Not only is there the need of a good constitution, but more important is the means of applying the concepts and theories in the constitution in political practice. The superior authority of the constitution should be definite to pave the way for rule by law. A steady and effective operational system should be established to ensure implementation of the constitution. The relation between the Party in power and the constitution should be properly dealt with to achieve an integrated ideal of the peoples' government ruled by the law under the leadership of the Party.
