立法:政治与法律的双重变奏

Legislation: Dual Variations of Politics and Law

立法作为我国法律产生的主要源泉,既要实现政治目标,也要实现法律本身的目的。作为政治和法律实践相结合的立法活动有时无法确认法律的"合理性",原因在于立法活动过于侧重政治目标而非法律目标。立法的法律目标是要把不同的法律、习惯法融合在一起,形成一个连贯的、一致的法律体系,而这种法律体系深受法律文化深层结构的影响。法律文化特有的定性因素限制了立法的政治属性,从而保障法律自治性。

Legislation,as the main source of law in China,achieves not only the political goal,but also the goal of the law itself. As a combination of political and legal practice,legislative activities sometimes fail to confirm the "rationality"of the law,for the reason that legislative activities focus too much on the political goal rather than the legal goal. The legal goal of legislation is to integrate different individual laws and customary laws to form a coherent and consistent legal system,which is deeply influenced by the deep structure of legal culture. The specific qualitative factors of legal culture limit the political attribute of legislation,thus guarantee the legal autonomy.
