全国人大九届二次会议通过了宪法修正案,把“依法治国,建设社会主义法治国家”明确写进宪法之中。这是我国民主与法制建设新的里程碑。从此,根据宪法规定的原则,推进依法治国,就成了全国人民共同关心的大事。 The Second Session of the Ninth National People’s Congress passed the amendment to the constitution, which clearly incorporated the Constitution of “governing the country according to law and building a socialist country ruled by law.” This is a new milestone in the building of democracy and legal system in our country. Since then, in accordance with the principles set forth in the Constitution, advancing the rule of law in accordance with the law has become a major event of common concern to all people in the country.
