宪法的形态是指宪法这种法律现象存在的形式和状态。作者认为,宪法这种法律现象有诸多的存在形式,表现为法律规范的只是其存在形式之一而不是全部。即使是就那些以法律规范的形式存在的内容而言,其如何形成,受哪些因素的影响和制约,在实际的政治之中实现的程度如何,仅从法律规范本身是无法说得清楚的,更何况不同国家或一个国家的不同历史时期,表现为法律规范的那些宪法内容存在着不同甚至有较大的差别,对此现象的合理解释也无法从法律规范本身的规定中去寻找或获得。因此,对宪法形态的研究就是理论上对宪法规范与社会现实之间相互关系的考察,将宪法规范仅看作是复杂的宪法现象的一个构成环节,对其进行动 The constitutional form refers to the form and status of the constitutional law phenomenon. The author believes that there are many forms of existence of the legal phenomenon of the constitution, the performance of the legal norms is only one of its forms of existence, but not all.

Therefore, the study of the constitutional form is the theoretical study of the interrelationship between the constitutional norms and the social reality. The constitutional norms are only regarded as a composing part of the complicated constitutional phenomena,
