论宪法监督的司法化

我国宪法确立了由最高国家权力机关监督宪法实施的模式 ,实践证明 ,这是一个失效的制度设计。失效的根本原因不在于宪法监督程序不完善 ,而在于这一模式背离了宪法监督的本质。宪法监督是多数民主的“制动器” ,唯有司法化的监督才能担此重任。司法性宪法监督与“议会至上”、“多数民主”是可以调和的。宪法是法律 ,然后才是最高法律 ,宪法的法律性也意味着宪法可以而且应当由司法化的机关加以适用。

On Judicialization of Constitution Supervision

The Constitution of China has established the mode that the supreme organization of state power supervises the implementation of constitution. Being proved in practice, the system design has become inoperative. It is not that the imperfection of constitutional supervision procedure, but that the model is against the nature of constitution supervision. Constitution supervision is the "brake" of the majority democracy. Only the judicialized supervision can take on the important task. The constitution supervision with the characteristic of judicature can be consistent with "supremacy of parliament" and "majority democracy". Constitution is law, and then the supreme law. The legal nature of constitution also means that constitution can be and should be applied by the judicialized organizations.
