学术界关于清末立宪的研究,主要纠缠于其是否为骗局,但是这并没有揭示该问题的实质。对满洲贵族而言,其关心的显然不是君主立宪制与君主制孰优孰劣的问题,而是宪政对其权力构成的根本挑战。令其为难的是:不实行宪政,清政府将被推翻;实行宪政,根据代议制原则,其亦将失去对政权的控制。因此,面临现实的困境,满清政府只能采取拖延策略,直至被推翻。 The academic research on the constitutional construction in the late Qing Dynasty mainly dwells on whether it is a scam, but this does not reveal the essence of the issue. For Manchu aristocrats, its concern is clearly not one of the superiority of the constitutional monarchy and the monarchy, but the fundamental constitutional challenge posed to its power. To make it difficult: the failure to implement constitutional government, the Qing government will be overthrown; the implementation of constitutionalism, according to the principle of representativeness, it will also lose control of the regime. Therefore, in the face of real difficulties, the Manchu government can only adopt a delaying tactic until it is overthrown.
