新中国的宪政经历了奠基期、初创期、挫折期、灾荒期、恢复期、发展期、成熟期,具有历史进步性、过程的探索性和政策主导性的特点。从其发展历程中我们可总结出许多经验,总的来看必须把坚持党的领导与人民当家做主和依法治国有机结合起来,必须处理好循序渐进与积极推进的关系,必须立足中国国情,同时吸收借鉴古今中外的有益经验,必须发挥法学家的作用。
New China's constitutional government construction has experienced the periods of foundation, establishment, frustration, disaster, resume, development, and maturation. It is characterized by historical progressiveness, tentative process, and policy-guidance. Much experience can be drawn from its developing history: We must combine the adherence to the Party's leadership with people's supremacy and ruling the country by law. We must also handle well the relationship between going step-by-step and promoting actively. We should stand on our country's own circumstance and assimilate ancient and modern foreign and domestic experience and depend on the jurists.
