曾几何时,个别学术界人士基于认识的偏颇对“宪政”一词极尽诋毁之能事,形成了所谓宪政否定说,此说长期误导我国社会大众和法政高层。宪政否定说在政治学和法律学界虽几乎没有市场,但此说在其他人群中的流播却对我国宪法实施造成了不容低估的负面影响。我国法学界、尤其是宪法学界历来对宪政持充分肯定的态度。为了给宪政正名,近几年来不乏宪法学者对宪政否定说提出批评,其中有代表性的是许崇德先生发表在本刊2008年第2期上的《宪政是法治国家应有之义》一文。编辑部今欣闻在十一届全国人大一次会议上,十届全国人大常委会工作报告从善如流,重新肯定了宪政之说,认为2004年通过的一系列修正案是“我国宪政史上又一重要里程碑”。编辑部认为,全国人大常委会今天肯定宪政,正如当年肯定法治和人权一样,具有重大的现实价值和深远历史意义,并且意味着对法学界呕心沥血的研究成果的吸纳。为进一步提升对宪政的学理认识,充分开发宪政的实践功能,本刊编辑部特组织了此次笔谈。
At one time or another, individual academics, based on their biased understanding, tried their utmost to discredit the word “constitutional government” and formed the so-called negation of constitutionalism, which long misled the public in China and the highest level of the administration of law and order. Constitutional negation says that there is almost no market in political science and legal studies, but that the spread among other groups has caused a negative impact that can not be underestimated in our country’s constitutional implementation. Our legal circles, especially the constitutional scholars, have always fully affirmed the constitutional government. In order to give the constitutional government a proper name, there are some constitutional scholars who criticized constitutional negation in recent years. Among them, Mr. Xu Chongde’s article “Constitutionalism is the Due Cause of a State under the Rule of Law” was published in the 2nd issue of this issue. At the first session of the 11th NPC, the editorial board of Xinhua News Agency reaffirmed the constitutional principle that the series of amendments passed in 2004 were “one more important issue in the constitutional history of our country milestone”. The editorial board believes that the Standing Committee of the NPC confirms constitutional government today, just as affirming the rule of law and human rights in the same year, it has great realistic value and far-reaching historical significance and also implies the absorption of the painstaking research achievements made by the legal science community. In order to further enhance our understanding of the theory of constitutional government and fully develop the practical functions of constitutional government, our editorial department specially organized the written discussion.
