1912年前后,章士钊是地方分权派代表人物。他不仅提出了地方分权主张,而且构筑了国家结构理论。在中央集权论与地方分权论的斗争中,他以此为武器,批判专制主义中央集权统治,维护资产阶级民主政治。他的主张和理论也成为民初联邦论乃至20年代初联省自治的理论基础和思想渊源。 Before and after 1912, Zhang Shizhao was the representative of the decentralization party. He not only proposed the idea of ​​decentralization but also constructed the theory of state structure. In the course of the struggle between the theory of centralization and the theory of local decentralization, he used this as a weapon to criticize the authoritarian centralized centralism and safeguard the bourgeois democratic politics. His ideas and theories also became the theoretical foundations and ideological origins of the federalism in the early Republican China and the federal self-government in the early 1920s.
