依法治国必须坚持党的领导,这是历史的要求,更是人民的选择。笔者根据自己的学习体会,从党的领导是中国特色社会主义的本质特征;党的领导是社会主义法治最根本的保证;党的执政党地位是宪法赋予的和党的领导是近代以来中国探索法治道路的必然选择等四个方面来深刻阐述依法治国必须坚持党的领导。 To govern the country according to law must uphold the party’s leadership. This is a historical requirement and, more importantly, a people’s choice. According to the author’s own experience, the leadership from the party is the essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The leadership of the party is the most fundamental guarantee of the socialist rule of law. The party’s ruling party is under the leadership of the Chinese Constitution and the party’s leadership since the modern era. The inevitable choice of the road to rule of law and other four aspects to profoundly expound the rule of law must adhere to the party’s leadership.
