汉密尔顿的混合政体观

Alexander Hamilton's Theory of Mixed System of Government

通过对参议院和众议院的构想,汉密尔顿试着在少数人和多数人之间保持一种平衡;通过对立法机构、行政机构和司法机构的设计,汉密尔顿意图为三个机构分别贯彻不同的政治原则,并在它们之间实现横向上的分权制衡;通过对中央与地方关系的争论,汉密尔顿最终选择妥协,接受了权力在纵向上的制约与平衡并为之进行有力的辩护。这样,汉密尔顿形成了一套自己的混合政体理论。

By framing the Senate and the House of Representatives,Alexander Hamilton tried to keep the balance between minority and majority.By designing the legislature,the Executive and the Supreme Court,Hamilton intended to allocate different political principles among them and to achieve the checks and balances among these three branches of government.After lots of debates on the relations between the federal government and the state governments,Hamilton eventually determined to compromise,adopted the balance between the central government and the local governments,and even provided strong defense for it.In a word,Hamilton formed his theory of mixed system of government.
