英国“王在法下”法治观念的历史起源

The Origination of England's "King Under Law" Idea

英国的法治传统起源于原始氏族社会选举国王的习惯。后来,随着习惯的法律化,这种原始的民主观念生发出法治的种子并形成“王在法下”的法治观念。法律精神与英国人的习惯结合且牢不可破,是英国法治精神的独特品格。

The traditional law in England originated from the custom of electing kings in the primitive clan society.Later,with the conventional' changing into laws,the primitive conception of democracy gave birth to the idea of 'king under law'.The close relationship between the spirit of law and the conventions of Briton forms unique characters of Briton.
