法律原则的存在形式探析——兼对《行政复议法》中“合法原则”的质疑

An analysis of the existing form of the principle of law——a challenge to the “legal principle” in the Administrative Reconsideration Law

法律原则在整个法律理论研究中居于重要地位,是人们在发现并运用法的过程中智慧的结晶。它的表现形式丰富多样,分别承担着各自特有的价值,共同构成法律大厦的基础。然而,在一部具体的部门法当中规定或者不规定、规定怎样的法律原则均有一定的依据,而不能表现出随意性。《行政复议法》将“合法”作为其基本原则之一,经不起法理推敲,在一定程度上引起了混乱。

The law principle, the result of people＇s wisdom in finding and applying it, plays a significant role in the study of the whole law theory. Rich and varied in the form, each has its own unique value and constitutes the foundation of the law. However, in a specific branch law, whether or not to stipulate the principle of law and what type of principle of law to be stipulated should have certain grounds. Randomness should not be allowed. The Administrative Reconsideration Law puts the ＂legal （principle）＂as one of its basic principles. It would, to some degree, cause chaos, since it could not stand up to any close scrutiny of law theory.
