从本质上说,西方的王权专制和中国的皇权专制都属于封建性质,处处维护地主阶级的特权和封建秩序,是中央集权的两种不同形式。君主个人专权是其主要特征,“君权神授”说是其理论依据。然而,由于两者存在的时期不同,经济基础和阶级基础不同,统治措施不同,因此在历史上所起的作用也不相同,现对其一一进行比较。 Essentially, the monarchy in the West and the autocratic imperialism in China belong to the feudal nature. Everywhere they safeguard the privileges of the landlord class and the feudal order, they are two different forms of centralized state power. The monarch’s personal privilege is its main feature, “divine right” is the theoretical basis. However, due to the different periods of existence of the two, the different economic basis and class basis and the different governing measures, they have played different roles in history and are now compared with each other.
