略论依法治国的理论与实践基础

A Preliminary Discussion of the Theoretical and Practical Foundation of Administering State Affairs in Accordance with the Law

在我国实施“依法治国”的基本方略有其理论与实践基础。新中国的法治发展历程表明:重“人治”轻“法治”;将法律作为政治的附属物;重国家轻个人,重义务轻权利;重实体轻程序,必将导致法治的失败。因此,要实现“依法治国”的基本方略,必须要高度重视法治建设,重视市场经济和民主政治的发展,重视政治的民主化,重视法律的控权作用,重视程序在法治建设中的作用,重视保障公民权利。

There are theoretical and practical basis to implement the fundamental principle of ＂administering state affairs in accordance with the law＂ . A research of the development of the rule of law in new China shows that the rule of man plays a more important role than the rule of law, the law is only a supplementary part of politics, state affairs is set above individual＇ s, obligations above rights, and entity above procedure, which will surely lead to the failure of the rule of law. Therefore, to realize ＂administering state affairs in accordance with the law＂ , great importance should be attached to the rule of law, the development of market economy and democratic government, the power control function of the law, the function of procedure in the rule of law and the insurance of civil rights.
