立法院作为南京国民政府的专门立法机构,对中国法律的现代化作出了显著的贡献。身处社会转型关键时期的国民政府,力图通过控制立法委员的额数、指任立法委员人选并操纵立法委员的任期、履职和辞职等手段,维系传统政治的精英性和人治性。1947年《中华民国宪法》颁布之后,立法院以普选的方式,大幅增加了立法委员的额数,在形式上开启了立法的民主化进程。社会精英是国家政治的中坚力量,但缺失民主基础的精英政治,最终不免趋向人治、独裁与极权。立法体制的民主转型固然艰难,却是现代政治体制的重要标志和必然趋势。
As a specialized legislative body of the Nanjing National Government, the Legislative Yuan made a significant contribution to the modernization of Chinese law. The national government, which is in the critical period of social transformation, attempts to maintain the elitist and dictatorial nature of traditional politics by controlling the amount of legislators, referring to the election of members of the legislature, and controlling the term, performance and resignation of legislators. After the promulgation of the ROC Constitution in 1947, the Legislature greatly increased the amount of legislators by way of universal suffrage and formally opened the democratization process of legislation. Social elites are the backbone of the national politics, but the elite politics that lacks the foundation of democracy finally can not help but tend to rule by man, dictatorship and totalitarianism. Although the democratic transition of the legislative system is difficult, it is an important symbol and an inevitable trend of the modern political system.
