摘要
多数原则的限度是指多数原则作为一种决策规则所适用的范围。这一范围可以从"少数的合法权益"、"程序正义"和"多数暴政"三个角度来加以界定。多数原则以保障少数的合法权益为限度,这既是多数结构特征的必然结果,也是多数与少数平等法律地位的现实要求;多数原则以维护程序正义为限度,是因为程序具有限制多数保护少数的功能;多数原则以防止多数暴政为限度,要求严格限制多数的无限权威,给少数人更多的自主治理,培育公民的民主精神。
The limits of Majority principles refer to the range.The range includes three respects:the few rights,procedure justice and majority tyranny.First of all,majority principles should ensure the few rights,which is the inevitable outcome of structure and the requirement of the equal legal statuses between the majority and the few.Secondly,majority principles should maintain the procedure justice,because the procedure is able to restain the majority from injuring the few.Thirdly,majority principles should prevent majority tyranny,limit the limitless authorities of the majorities,give the few more independence,foster the citizen's democratic spirit.
