宪政视阈下比例原则的演进

The Evolution of the Proportionality Principle from the Perspective of the Constitutional Government

比例原则肇始于德国,渊源最早可追溯到法律理念的源头。其蕴涵的公平、正义思想与人类的初始理念相一致。随着民主和法治的发展,这一原则的内涵及适用范围均得到了发展。在宪政视阈下,从发展观的维度看,比例原则所具有的客观性、可操作性标准正是控制行政自由裁量权被滥用的最有效的、不可忽视的利器之一。这对我们依法治国,奉行依法行政和建设和谐社会是富有启迪作用的。

The proportionality principle originates in German, and it can be even traced back to the origin of law because it contains the ideas of equality and justice which embody the mankind＇ s basic ideas. With the development of democracy and rule of law, this principle＇ s connotation and application have witnessed great changes. The principle＇ s objectivity and practicability, from the perspective of the constitutional government and for the sake of development, just make a most effective weapon to restrict the discretional administrative power from being abused. It also throws enlightenments for us to rule the country by law and build a harmonious society.
