美国宪法的基本价值观念是主权在民,宪法的权力配置原则是三权分立与制衡,这种宪政思想闪烁着洛克的光辉。洛克认为,政府是保障人权的必要工具,政府权力须受到限制。为了实现宪政,民主的价值观就必须通过公平选举、多数原则、言论自由以及合法抗议等重要方式融入到政治程序之中。
The basic values of the United States Constitution are the sovereignty of the people. The constitutional principle of power distribution is the separation of powers and the checks and balances. This constitutionalism glitters with the gloriousness of Locke. Locke argues that the government is a necessary tool to safeguard human rights and government power must be limited. In order to realize constitutional and democratic values, it must be integrated into the political process through such important methods as fair election, the majority principle, freedom of speech and legal protest.
