中国社会主义法治理论体系之“法治”

On the Rule of Law in the Socialist Legal System in China

在党的十八届四中全会的《中共中央关于全面推进依法治国若干重大问题的决定》中,提出了建构"社会主义法治理论体系"的命题。这是坚定不移地走社会主义法治道路,实现执政方式的法治化转变的理论基础。从历史的角度考察,社会主义与法治的结合是法治思想史的重大转变。法治是中国社会主义的特色,而非是中国特色的社会主义法治。中国社会主义法治理论体系需要法治之理,法治之理是人们公认的法治规则。社会主义法治国家的根本特征在于执政党要依法执政,接受宪法、法律的约束。社会主义法治理论的建构需要阐明法治的基本含义:法治是社会主义的政治道德;是社会主义道路的实现方式;是以完善社会主义法治体系为主要方法的战略实施。

The fourth plenary session of the 18th Communist Party of China （CPC） Central Committee proposed the proposition of ＂the socialist rule of law＂ in China. This is the theoretical basis of insistence on the route of the Socialist Rule of Law and the transformation of governance by the rule of law. From a historical perspective, the combination of socialism and the rule of law is a major change in the legal history. The rule of law is the characteristic of Chinese socialism, but not the socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics. The system China＇ s socialist rule of law needs the axioms of rule of law, and the axioms of rule of law are the rule of law recognized by the public. The essential feature of the socialist country ruled by law is that the party should be governed by law, and to accept the constraints of constitution and laws. The construction of theory of the socialist rule of law needs to clarify the basic meaning of the rule of law ： the rule of law is the socialist political morality, is the way of realization of the socialist road, is a strategic implement of improving the system of socialist rule of law as the main method.
