在美国宪法最初的大约一百年间,联邦最高法院的司法审查主要发挥一种打通联邦与各州之间关系、实现联邦在法律上的统一的作用。在当时美国的宪制实践中,多数人的自我统治和人民主权占据十分凸显的位置,而当代宪法话语中的核心关切,即宪法权利和所谓的“反多数人暴政”问题,反倒十分淡化。早期美国的这一宪法实践形态对于我们思考我国宪法的实施具有重大的启发意义。 During the first hundred years of the U.S. Constitution, the judicial review of the Supreme Court of the United States has mainly played a role in opening up the federal-state relations and achieving the federal unification of law. In the constitutional practice of the United States at that time, the majority dominated self-government and popular sovereignty, and the core concerns of contemporary constitutional discourse, namely, constitutional rights and the so-called “tyranny of the tyranny of the minorities” Desalination. This form of constitutional practice in the early United States is of great enlightenment for us to consider the implementation of our constitution.
