“人民立宪”思想是毛泽东宪政思想的精髓,它经历了人民授权、人民民主两个发展阶段,对中国的宪政建设和民主政治的发展产生了深刻影响。当前,解析这一思想对于学习贯彻“三个代表”思想、努力建设中国特色的政治文明、发展社会主义民主政治具有重要的现实意义。 “People’s Constitutionalism ” thought is the essence of Mao Zedong’s constitutionalism thought. It has undergone two stages of development of people’s empowerment and people’s democracy, and has a profound impact on China’s constitutional construction and the development of democratic politics. At present, analyzing this thinking is of great realistic significance for studying and implementing the thinking of the “three represents,” building a political civilization with Chinese characteristics and developing socialist democratic politics.
