Discussion on the Logical Coordination between Legal Theory and Legal Practice——from the Perspective of the Legal Basis of NPC5s Discussion and Decisiomaking Power on Major Issues

The decision of local people's congresses to discuss major issues is a basic right granted to local people's congresses by the Chinese Constitution and laws.However,in practice,the implementation of the power of deliberation of major issues by local people's congresses is worrying.By applying the theory of Chinese traditionalism and unity in the theory of law,the theory of"sovereignty in the people"in the social contract theory of Western natural law school,Austin's"legal command theory55 in Western positivist law and Hart's"recognition""Rules theory"to argue that the integrity of rights necessarily involves the dual factors of decision-making and execution.At the same time,the existence and operation of the law always reflects the development of the political system.The realistic political situation requires us to make more precise and meticulous refinement of the external form and specific technical links of the legal system,and to coordinate the rules to make up the legal theory and Conflicts and conflicts in legal practice help to reform social institutions.

The Connotations of the Constitutional Clause on Human Rights Protection From the Perspective of Foreign-related Rule of Law

The inclusion of the human rights clause in the Chi-nese Constitution is the core normative manifestation of the constitu-tionalization of human rights,and points to the relationship between international law and the Constitution in the sense of positive law.The inclusion of the human rights clauses in the Chinese Constitution itself is an inherent part of the development of China’s socialist constitution,and socialism has already contributed valuable concepts and practices of human rights protection to the modern world in its early stage.The constitutionalization of human rights protection does not necessarily lead to the superiority of international law over the constitutional order of a country,but rather to the convergence of international law and domestic law through the constitutional order.The relevant rules of international law will be effective only when they are transformed into domestic law through the Constitution and the human rights clause in the Constitution.Correspondingly,the domestic legal order is brought into line with the international legal order through the Con-stitution and its human rights clause.Behind the system of fundamen-tal rights in the constitutional order is the value foundation of the en-tire legal system.The advancement of foreign-related rule of law has brought new opportunities for China’s judicial practice to further pro-mote the protection of human rights.In the future,we should further integrate the human rights values embedded in socialism into China’s constitutional practice,enhance human rights protection around the country,and take a more active part in global human rights gover-nance.

圣王之治:商鞅的法治论及其内在逻辑

《商君书》提出了理想政治统治的法家模式,其中包含一套相对完整的古典法治论:以圣王为起点,导向君主集权制的圣王法治。在“君-官-民”三方法治结构中,法既治民又治官,也抑制君主私人意志。商鞅法治论以最低限度的道德为底线,反对礼治、德治,但并不反对德性之治。商鞅贵势审数,以重刑主义、连坐思维、奖励告奸等措施严密法制,以信赏必罚树立公信,试图以强势的可操控性实现无为之治。商鞅法治论未能从根本上实现君主无为的制度化,也就无法从制度上保证法治的可持续性。

习近平生态文明法治理论的基础命题:环境与经济协同发展

习近平生态文明法治理论的基础命题是环境与经济协同发展。习近平生态文明法治理论将生态环境保护的地位提升至前所未有的高度,目的并不是为了使生态环境保护在整体上处于优先经济发展的地位,而是为了补齐生态环境保护相对于经济发展而言所存在的短板。环境与经济协同发展也是习近平生态文明法治理论的逻辑主线,体现在习近平生态文明法治理论的主要内容之中,它将习近平生态文明法治理论的各个部分融贯成一个体系。习近平生态文明法治理论不仅从各个方面全面论述和揭示了环境与经济协同发展的深刻道理,而且为环境与经济协同发展的实现提供了完备的方法论指导和保障,引领并推动人与自然和谐之中国式现代化建设更快更好地开展。

论新时代特色法治理论的人民性

新时代特色法治理论是马克思主义唯物史观和中华传统法律文化民本思想的凝练升华,植根于新时代中国特色社会主义土壤,始终坚持依靠人民、为了人民和服务人民的政治立场。因此,新时代特色法治理论以人民至上为初心使命,以保障人民权益为根本宗旨,以人的自由全面发展为奋斗目标。新时代特色法治理论人民性的实现路径是:立法贯彻以民为本的思想,执法牢记为人民服务的宗旨,司法坚持人民至上的原则,守法彰显法律面前人人平等的理念。

“中国式法治现代化”的话语阐释

“中国式法治现代化”是习近平法治思想中“法治轨道论”的话语建构,它旨在传达的并不仅是其字面含义,即中国法治(法制)本身的现代化,而是“通过法治实现中国整体的现代化”。同时“中国式法治现代化”话语蕴含着中国法治(法制)本身的现代化。“中国式法治现代化”之“中国”强调,中国法治建设必须从中国基本国情出发,中国式法治现代化的实质就是建构基于中国传统和基本国情的现代法治。“中国式法治现代化”之“式”表明,中国法治现代化是一种不同于西方国家的中国特色的法治现代化,是一种可供发展中国家借鉴和推广的法治现代化典范。“式”的运用,使中国成功逆袭了西方对人类法治发展模式的话语权,增强了中国法治现代化在国内外的接受度、认同感和感召力。

优秀传统法律文化融入青少年法治教育的路径新探

在青少年社会主义核心价值观教育中,中国优秀传统文化是不可或缺的重要资源。将优秀传统法律文化融入青少年法治教育,增强青少年对中华文化的归属感,提高各族学生的法治素养,是贯彻习近平总书记关于法治教育的讲话精神和要求,落实党的二十大精神,促进青少年成长与加强青少年法治思想教育的重要路径。要使青少年法治教育体现中国特色社会主义法治精神,需要同传承中华优秀传统法律文化结合起来。传统法律文化中的积极因素仍然能在当今时代发挥重要的意义,社会主义法治建设过程中应该对其加以继承和借鉴。应当在习近平法治思想指导下,充分挖掘和利用传统文化资源,特别是优秀传统法律文化中契合现代法治精神的部分,探索优秀传统法律文化融入青少年法治思想教育的对策和有效路径。

中国式法治现代化话语体系的建构逻辑——基于改革开放以来法治理论演进之考察

中国式法治现代化是党领导人民探索中国自主法治道路的伟大实践,中国式法治现代化的独特话语体系在这一历史进程中得以塑造和建构,并通过法治理论予以凝练、总结与表达。法治理论作为法治文明的重要组成部分,对法治实践进行提炼,与法治实践相融共进、深刻互动,不断引领和推动中国式法治现代化实现新的历史跨越。改革开放以来的中国式法治现代化话语体系在“阐释进路、表述立场、规范构造、知识谱系、实践向度”等方面呈现出“从法律体系论到法治体系论、从依法治国论到法治中国论、从国家法理论到党规国法系统论、从西方话语主导到寻求自主表达、从证成法治价值到探索法治实现”的建构逻辑,这是法治理论不断寻求和表达法治“中国性”的必然结果,揭示了中国探索法治现代化新道路的逻辑历程。

新时代中国特色社会主义法治的价值内涵与实现进路

新时代,错综复杂的国际国内局势对我国法治提出了更高要求。法治价值是法治的精神内核,是决定法治走向和法治效果的关键因素。在法治价值的系统视阈下解析社会主义法治的三重价值内涵,以及社会主义法治价值对于中外传统法治价值的超越,有助于理清新时代中国特色社会主义法治的价值实现进路。

“五四宪法”精神之分析——纪念“五四宪法”颁布70周年

“五四宪法”是新中国第一部宪法,为新中国法治建设发挥了不可替代的作用。“五四宪法”从起草到颁布,饱含了民主、务实、创新、开放等精神。在“五四宪法”诞生70年的中国法制发展进程中,宪法以其独特的功能维护了国家法制的顺利运转,筑牢了中华民族共同体。中国现行法治精神延续和发展了“五四宪法”精神,“五四宪法”精神也将对未来中国特色社会主义法治产生深远影响。

习近平法治思想之监察理论研究

党的十八大以来,习近平总书记就完善国家监督体系,加强国家监察和反腐败体制机制改革,提出一系列新理论、新观点、新要求,作出了新部署,形成了内容丰富、内涵深刻、逻辑严密、系统完备、政治与法律密切交融嵌合的科学监察理论。以依规依纪依法为多元依据的相对独立支系统,是习近平法治思想的重要组成部分。从理论向度看,该支系统是通过对“公权力监督全覆盖”理论和实践经验提炼总结而形成的认识论范畴,其特定内涵和思想要义具有深刻的理论渊源和文化基石。从实践向度看,监察体制改革属于我国政治体制的重大变革,在宪法上确立监察权,重塑了我国政权组织形式;在机构设置上,国家监察机关与党的纪律检查机关合署办公,实现了党内监督与国家监督、党的纪律检查与国家监察、党和国家监督体系的有机统一。监察法的颁行,更是推动了多元法律、法规之间的有效衔接与整合。习近平总书记关于监察理论的重要论述不仅丰富了习近平法治思想的内容构成,也成为国家监察法治实践迈向新高度的指引,还将推动以“对人监督”为核心的公权力监督理念日益国际化,推动对监察权的再监督体系逐步从以自体监督为主转向以异体监督为主,确保监察权行使的规范化、法治化,最终为实现国家治理体系和治理能力现代化这一宏观目标提供内生动力。

以党内法规保证党在宪法法律范围内活动释论

党在宪法法律范围内活动是党领导和推动中国法治建设的历史自觉,也是中国宪制秩序的根基性内容。“党规之治”是在中国法治实践中自主探索的法治路径,党内法规一直发挥着“保证党在宪法法律范围内活动”的法治功能。照搬西方政党法治经验的制度构建,是背离中国宪制实际、不具可行性的制度设计,不能实现“保证党在宪法法律范围内活动”的预期目标。由党章、党的组织法规、党的领导法规、党的自身建设法规和党的监督保障法规组成的党内法规体系在各个方面发挥着规范党的活动的作用,形成了以党内法规保证党在宪法法律范围内活动的基本路径。新时代中国法治理论应以习近平法治思想为根本遵循,从中国法治实践出发,正视党内法规“保证党在宪法法律范围内活动”的法治功能,进一步证成和接纳“党规亦法”命题,将中国特色融入法治理论研究。
