群体性事件的宪法之维

Constitutional Location of Group Events

"群体性事件"的发生多是因为中国社会复杂化和利益多元化的发展趋势,再加上纠纷解决机制与矛盾排除机制的运转不灵,使得群众的某些利益诉诸无门。然而群体性事件维护自身权利的初衷,却是受到宪法肯定的。群体性事件作为一种体制外的权利救济手段,是"合宪而不合于法"的。法律应该消除"合宪而不合于法"的背离状态,肯认群体性事件作为一种维权路径的合法性,进而将群体性事件纳入宪法体制之中。

The occurrences of"group events"are mostly attributed to the trend of social complexity and interest diversification in China.In addition,the malfunction of dispute settlement and conflict resolution mechanism make the mass have no access to justice The original purpose of these group events is supported by the Constitution:to safeguard the individual rights.Therefore,group events,as a means of remedy of rights which is exterior of present political regime,are in essence"constitutional but illegal".However,the legal system should eliminate the contradicting phenomena of"constitutional but illegal"by legalizing group events as a kind of legitimate way of asserting rights and further.
