列宁宪政思想的精神意蕴与时代价值

On the Spiritual Meaning and Value of Our Age of Lenin's Constitutional Thought

作为全世界第一个社会主义国家的缔造者和社会主义法制的实践者,列宁虽然没有明确提出过宪政的概念,也没有对宪政问题进行过系统的理论阐述,但他关于民主与法治的诸多论述中已经明显地包涵了丰富的宪政思想,在实践上亦为社会主义宪政建设作过巨大努力。宪法至上是列宁宪政思想的前提;民主政治是列宁宪政思想的主要内容;法治是列宁宪政思想的核心原则;保障人权是列宁宪政思想的最终目的。列宁的宪政思想及实践,对我国现阶段的宪政建设无疑具有重要理论价值和实践价值。

As a founder of the first socialist country and practicer of the socialist legal system, Lenin didn＇ t have a clear conception about constitution and didn＇ t expound constitution systemically. However, Lenin＇ s dissertation about democracy and legal system clearly contained plenty of constitutional thought, and Lenin made great efforts for socialist constitutional construction in practice. Paramountcy of constitution is the precondition of Lenin＇ s constitutional thought ; democratic politics is the main content of Lenin＇ s constitutional thinking; ruling by law is the center principle of Lenin＇ s constitutional thinking and the guarantee of human rights is the final aim. Nowadays, Lenin＇ s theory and practice of constitutional thought is of important value to our constitutional construction.
