尽管早在民国时期中国就有了把中国带进宪政门槛的宪法,但无论是民国的还是新中国的宪法,都因为战乱或政治运动而遭到了极大的破坏。本文指出西方宪政发展有着其特殊的内源性优势和外在动因。因此,在民情、国情时代背景不同的情况下我们不能照搬西方既有路径,而要有辨别地选择一条属于自己的新路。 Although China had a constitution that brought China to the threshold of constitutionalism as early as the Republic of China, both the Republic of China and the new China’s constitution were greatly damaged by the war or political movements.

Therefore, we can not just copy the existing path of the West but choose a new path of our own, discerningly, under the circumstances of different national conditions and national conditions.
