提出并确立社会主义市场经济体制(以下简称“市场经济体制”)是党的十四大的重大理论贡献.它不仅对经济理论研究和发展经济具有划时代意义,而且对法学理论研究进一步冲破禁区、走出误区、步入繁荣和加强社会主义民主与法制建设也有巨大推动作用.在这一理论的指引下,本文试对公民在法律面前一律平等(以下简称“一律平等”)问题作一反思,主要探讨它是一项法制原则,还是公民所享有的一项基本权利?它的作用是否只限于适用法律的狭窄领域,而不能涉足立法,从而进入法制的广阔天地? To put forward and establish the socialist market economic system (hereinafter referred to as the “market economic system”) is a major theoretical contribution of the 14th National Congress of the CPC, which not only has epoch-making significance for the study of economic theory and the development of economy, but also further breaks the study of jurisprudence With the guidance of this theory, this article attempts to make the equality of citizens before the law (hereinafter referred to as “equal” issue) In a reflection, we mainly discuss whether it is a principle of law or a basic right enjoyed by citizens, and whether its role is confined to the narrow area of ​​applicable law and can not be involved in legislation to enter the vast area of ​​legal system.
