Abstract

From the point of view of value, freedom, equality, justice and justice constitute the basic connotation of political value. However, we do not deny that in political life there are preferences for the political system, such as democracy, the rule of law and other institutional concepts, and we still classify them into political values. From this angle, we divide the political value into two parts, the value concept and the system idea.

    [America]Sabine: History of Political Theory2, translated by Liu Shan, The Commercial Press, Edition of 1986, p. 648, 646. In addition to the main reference to this book, this part of the overview of Rousseau thought, but also refers to the relevant theories of Strauss, and Zhu Xueqin: The Destruction of the Moral Utopiafrom Rousseau to Robespierre, Shanghai Sanlian Bookstore, Edition of 1994; Yu Fengwu: An Introduction to Rousseau Thought, Beijing Normal University press, Edition of 1986. As for Rousseau's thought, there are many arguments in Chinese and western academic circles, but this book does not intend to discuss Rousseau's thought systematically. Therefore, there is no discussion about the difference between the dominant positions of liberal democracy in Rousseau's thought or the superiority of moral autocracyand explores the focus on his people's sovereignty and the early Confucianism on the similarities and differences between the people of this concept.

The sentences are changed according to the research of Yu Yao Doubt about Inequality Ancient Book on Dong Zhongshu. In the Analects of Confucius, the two are expressed as: “Do not worry about the less but the inequality and do not worry about the poor but unsafe.” To integrate the whole sentence, Dong, Yu Zhigai is reasonable.

Some scholars pointed out that the “nine squares” system did not exist in the ancient social economic life and the system was only an imaginary product. Looking up in the Chinese economic history, the “nine squares” system stated by Mencius did not operate in fact, but this more precisely explained the specificity of Mengzi's assumption of even prayer.

    The early Confucians, such as Xunzi, expressed the traditional ideas of “to keep the peace, we need to acknowledge the no peace”, however, the hypothesis that “even the common people can be Yu” eliminates the function of dialectical thinking of equality and inequality, so that the two that should be related are divided into two pieces: ethics demands unconditional equality and politics admits the unequal facts. This is different from Rawls that combine the unity of justice and good into two fields of morality and Politics.

    This article uses Huntington's description of democratization. According to Huntington's review of the democratization process, the sequence of the development of democracy is as follows:

    First long wave of democratization: 1828–1926;

    First resurgence: 1922–1942;

    Second shortwave democratization: 1943–1962;

    Second resurgence: 1958–1975;

    Third wave of democratization: 1974-today.

    Refer to [America] Huntington: The Third Wave: Democratization in the Late Twentieth Century, translated by Liu Junning, Shanghai Sanlian Bookstore, Edition of 1998, pp. 13–15.

    Herder enumerated various kinds of democracy in Models of Democracy. Every model mentioning democracy is in the name: such as classical democracy, liberal democracy, direct democracy, protective democracy, legal democracy, competitive elite democracy, pluralistic democracy, and so on and so forth. It conveys a fundamental fact that democracy has no unified pattern no matter from the perspective of history or from the perspective of national conditions.

    The original translation of Liu Shan is “imperial law”. Refer to [America] Sabine: A History of Political Theory (Volume Two), translated by Liu Shan, The Commercial Press, Edition of 1986, p. 466. As known by the author, Bodin does not have such a book. The original word is Latin “leges imperii”, English interpretation of the imperii is command; authority; rule, supreme power; the state, the empire, etc., according to Bodin's theory, the meaning of “leges imperii” is similar to the called “senior law”, and should not be translated as “imperial law”. Refer to George H. Sabine, A history of political theory, New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1950, p. 409. The translation has been revised according to original.

    The Chinese historians generally agreed that the 1789 was the beginning of the French Revolution, but the view of the lower limit of the French Revolution was not unified. If calculating with 1815, during the revolution, France adopted 7 constitutions, namely, 1791, 1793, 1795, 1799, 1804, 1814 and 1815, with an average of less than 4 years. Related information please refer to Zhang Qianfan: Western Constitutional System (Volumn two), China University of Political Science and Law press, Edition of 2001, p. 2. Chinese scholar Zhu Xueqin also inspected the phenomenon of ups and downs of French constitution, the statistical result was that 14 years from 1791 to 1804, it adopted 5 constitutions. Then, in the recent 200 years, France has passed 12 constitutions in total, one constitution every 16 years. Refer to Zhu Xueqin: The Fall of Moral Utopia, Shanghai Sanlian Bookstore, Edition of 1994, p. 183. Although the constitutional changes after the French Revolution were related to the French Revolution, but France carried out multi-party system, and the changing political situations were also a major reason. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the United States constitution “did not change for two hundred years” said by Zhu Xueqin is also worth careful consideration. In the constitution of less than 30 articles, more than 20 amendments were added, many constitutional precedents have become an important part of the constitution of the United States and is the constitution in practice.

    The data in this article are not completely counted. Because the constitutional convention is carried out in secret, therefore, there are no official public records, also no more credible records. Something being passed down mainly included Madison’s notes which were made at the meeting, but it was also published after being polished, with many incredible things. Max Farrand cleared up and published four volumes of The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787 (Max Farrand ed., The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, Vol. 1–4, New Haven: Yale University Press, 1937) and summarized various opinions, which had important historical value. This paper uses the way of computer retrieval to search Madison’s notes, and it was found that in the constituent convention, people only referred to the democracy for 7 times, which are concentrated in 6 days. (Data sources: James Madison, Notes of debates in the Federal Convention of 1787, Athens Ohio: Ohio, University Press, 1984 (Web edition http://www.constitution.org/dfc/dfc-0000.htm); statistical method: computer retrieval; search term: democracy; retrieval mode: full field query; search result: 7 records; deadline: April 4, 2003.

    Although in three states—Delaware, New Jersey and Georgia, the votes were unanimous, but votes in the rest of the states were fragmented, North Carolina even rejected the constitution by 184:84. In some states, the delegates debated strongly, but the result was still too close to call. For example, in Massachusetts, delegates divided equally by 187:168; in New Hampshire was 57:46; in the Virginia which had several main constitution makers, the constitution was approved only by 80:79, the difference of one vote.

    Because of translation, here’s “Parliament's sovereignty” refers to parliamentary sovereignty, so-called “the rule of law” is the meaning of rule of law.

  317. 317.

    Even Jennings overall criticized Dicey, he also thought Dicey’s understanding of rule of law “was so acceptable that people still generally regard rule of law and Dicey’s explanation of rule of law as the same thing until recently”, “his theory enjoys particularly extensive support among constitutional scholars and other people”. [Britain] Jennings: The Law and the Constitution, translated by Gong Xiangrui and Hou Jian, SDX Joint Publishing Company, Edition of 1997, p. 37, 211. Although Dicey received many criticisms, Dicey’s contribution to the theory of rule of law was obvious to all. In the two books of The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Political System and The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Political Thought, the clauses of rule of law are both on the basis of Dicey’s concept of rule of law. Refer to [Britain] David Miller, Vernon Bogdanor: The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Politics, mainly translated by Deng Zhenglai, clause of rule of law, China University of Political Science and Law Press, Edition of 1992, pp. 675–677. Contemporary jurist Martin Loughlin worshiped Dicey as “pontifex of legitimate theory of constitution”, refer to [Britain] Martin Loughlin: Public Law and Political Theory, translated by Zheng Ge, Commercial Press, Edition of 2002, p. 197. Criticism on Dicey can refer to [Britain] Jennings: The Law and the Constitution, translated by Gong Xiangrui and Hou Jian, SDX Joint Publishing Company, Edition of 1997, pp. 98–111, 38–43, 211–220. Then Wade further developed Dicey’s concept of rule of law. Refer to [Britain] William Wade: Administrative Law, translated by Xu Bing, Encyclopedia of China Publishing House, Edition of 1997, pp. 23–30. Later Lawson, Latham, Heuston, Hayek and other people had various judgments of Dicey’s theory of rule of law.

  319. 319.

    In this master work of An Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution, Dicey quoted Blackstore’s words and regarded as classics “Parliament’s power like what Sir Edward Coke said was not only outstanding but also absolute”. In fact, the thought of rule of law still occupied the important position in the thought of Coke, Blackstore and other people. This thought of dual power was reflected most obviously in British jurists.
