马少华先生在《读书》一九九九年第六期发表的《控诉书风波与合法性问题》一文 ,实际上是以个案的形式提出了一个长期困扰法学史的问题 ,即法律本身的合法性问题。胡适与中国民权保障同盟的分歧乃是来自于对这个问题不同的理解。谈论法律本身的合法性并不是毫无意义的同语反复 Mr. Ma Shaohua’s article entitled “Problems and Legitimacy of the Complaint Form” published in the sixth issue of “Reading” in 1999 actually raised the question of the law history that has long plagued the history of law, that is, the legitimacy of the law itself problem. The disagreement between Hu Shi and China’s civil rights security alliance came from a different understanding of the issue. Talking about the legitimacy of the law itself is not meaningless repetition
