美国最高法院宪政进程研究

On the Constitutional Process of the Supreme Court of United States

美国最高法院的发展折射出美国的宪政历史进程,反映出法制社会建成的持续和艰辛及美国社会的价值取向,也反映出司法权对一国宪政进程的重要影响。在这一过程中,司法的能动性得以充分体现,法官在进行宪法解释时,倾向于弱化遵循先例原则和政治决策者,更多地依赖独立判断,倾向于做出范围宽泛的判决意见,主张一种广泛的司法救济权,由此推进宪政的现代化。

The development of Supreme Court reflects the constitutional historic process in United States.It reflects not endurances and difficulties in the establishment of a society ruled by law and the value orientation of American society but the important influence from judicial power on the constitutional process of the country,during which the judicial activism is fully reflected.When judges in Supreme Court explain the Constitution they tend to focus on their own independent judicial judgment instead to abide by precedent doctrine and policy-makers＇ opinion,so as to make a more broad views of judgment and suggest more extensive right of judicial remedy to promote the constitutionalism modernization.
