党的领导、人民当家作主和依法治国的统一性问题,是十六大所正式提出社会主义民主政治的优势,也是冲破一些旧的观念的强大武器。这个武器的威力体现在它内在地存在着一个三层结构:人民当家作主的至上性及其相对性——党的领导的关键性及其相对性——依法治国的紧迫性及其相对性,这三者相互联结,构成了社会主义民主政治优势的制高点。 The issue of the unity of the leadership of the party, the people being the masters of the country and the principle of governing the country according to law is an advantage that the 16th CPC National Congress officially put forward the socialist democracy and is also a powerful weapon for breaking through some old concepts. The power of this weapon lies in its inherent existence of a three-tier structure: supremacy of the people being the masters of the country and its relativity - the crux of the party’s leadership and its relativity - the urgency and relativity of governing the country according to law These three are interconnected and constitute the commanding point of the superiority of the socialist democracy.
