內容提要：
中國的制憲史已逾百年。 憲法的產⽣及其發展展現了中國法治現代化的過程和中國社會變⾰的過程。 歷史總能給⼈深刻的啟⽰，回顧中國的憲法發展史，特別是新中國成⽴以來的制憲史，可以讓我們看到中國社會主義制度如何實現規範化、如何吸取歷史的教訓⽽形成當下的⽂本形態、如何在實施中不可避免地充滿中國特⾊。 本講座將聚焦我國現⾏憲法產⽣之前的憲法發展史，特別是新中國成⽴以來⾃1949年⾄1982年的憲法史，做歷時性的分析和總結。
Abstract:
The constitutional history of China, spanning more than a hundred years, illustrates the nation’s path towards the modernization of its legal system and its ongoing social transformation. Historical insights often provide profound lessons, and examining China’s constitutional development—particularly since the founding of New China—offers valuable perspectives on the normalization of China’s socialist system, the evolution of its current constitution, and the distinctively Chinese characteristics embedded in the constitution’s implementation. This lecture aims to explore the history of China’s constitutional development leading up to the adoption of its current constitution, with a particular focus on the period between 1949 and 1982 after the founding of New China. A diachronic analysis and summary will be provided to further our understanding of this critical period.
