宪政是近代西方社会的基本政治体制,也是近代欧洲大陆启蒙运动、资产阶级革命的产物。在这种政治体制下,欧美社会经济运行良好、人民福利待遇高。然而,宪政在欧洲的发展绝非一蹴而就的,而是几千年古老思想的积淀。相对于欧洲大陆风风火火的宪政运动,中国却是态度冷漠。直到19世纪中叶,宪政思想才真正被介绍到中国。由于宪政在中国没有思想根基,且当时的宪政运动更是照搬西方现成的政体模式,最后以失败告终。在当代中国,我们应该看到西方社会宪政制度的变迁,学习西方宪政的一系列成功的改革措施,来调整我国政府的结构、变革一些陈旧的观念,以便于更好的促进我国经济发展、政治文明。 Constitutionalism is the basic political system in modern Western society and a product of the Enlightenment and bourgeois revolution in modern Europe. Under such a political system, the socio-economic conditions in Europe and the United States have been well run and their welfare benefits have been high. However, the development of constitutional government in Europe is by no means accomplished in one go, but the accumulation of ancient ideas for thousands of years. Relative to the reckless constitutional movement in Europe, China is indifferent. Until the middle of the 19th century, constitutionalism was really introduced to China. Since constitutionalism lacks ideological foundation in China and the constitutional movement of the time copied the existing political model of the West, it ended in failure. In contemporary China, we should see the changes in the constitutional system in Western societies, learn a series of successful reform measures in Western constitutional government to adjust the structure of our government and change some obsolete concepts in order to better promote the economic development of our country.
