修改宪法是一件关系重大、影响深远的举措。党的十六届三中全会强调要在保持原宪法的基本内容的基础上,根据国情的发展变化和进一步深化改革的要求,适时听取各方面合理呼声,修改和完善宪法,充分满足社会主义市场经济对法制保障的需求,其意义十分重大。 Amending the constitution is a major and far-reaching move. At the Third Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee, we emphasized that we should, on the basis of upholding the basic content of the original constitution, timely and properly solicit voices from all quarters, revise and perfect the constitution, and fully meet the requirements of the socialist market according to the development and changes in our country and the requirements for further deepening the reform. The need of economic protection for the rule of law is of great significance.
