江泽民同志在党的十五大报告中,从建设有中国特色社会主义的政治,继续推进政治体制改革的高度,第一次明确而完整地提出要依法治国,建设社会主义法治国家。这是对邓小平民主法制理论的继承、丰富和发展,是社会主义民主法制建设新的里程碑,是我们党领导方式、执政方式、治国方略的重大进步。 In the report to the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Jiang Zemin first and forthrightly and completely proposed to rule the country by law and to build a socialist country governed by the rule of law from the perspective of building socialism with Chinese characteristics and continuously advancing the political restructuring. This is a succession, enrichment and development of Deng Xiaoping’s theory of democracy and legal system, a new milestone in the construction of socialist democracy and legal system and a major step forward in our party’s leadership style, governing style and governing the country.
