民主,这个象征社会进步和人类文明的美丽词藻,或曰“人民主权”,或曰“人民民主”,已为当今各立宪国家作为一项重要的原则确立于宪法之中。综观世界各国的历史发展和现实情况,各国统治者们又无不按照自己的政治主张和具体国情去建立并发展各自的民主宪政制度。在这里,就民主的共性而言,在理论上虽然都可以解释为“人民的权力”或“多数人的统治”,但就各国具体的现实民主而言,却又不能不说是千变万化,乃至千差万别。事实是:无论从民主的内容还是从民主的形式而言,都不仅有“东方”和“西方”之分,而且还会有不同的国别之分。
Democracy, a beautiful rhetoric symbolizing social progress and human civilization, or “people’s sovereignty,” or “people’s democracy,” has been established in the Constitution for the constitutional countries as an important principle today. Looking at the historical development and reality of various countries in the world, all the rulers have all followed the principle of establishing their own political constitution and developing their respective systems of constitutional democracy. Here, as far as the commonalities of democracy are concerned, although theoretically they can all be interpreted as “people’s power” or “majority rule,” they can not but be said to be ever-changing and even Different. The fact is: both in the content of democracy and in the form of democracy, there are not only the “East” and “West” points, but also different country points.
