摘要
宪法意识是公民的宪法知识、观点、理念和思想的总称。公民宪法意识是推动宪法实施和民主政治、法治发展的精神动力,也是衡量国家法治化程度的标志之一。在社会变迁中,宪法意识构成宪法秩序内在的精神力量,它本身即是推动社会变迁,尤其是重塑社会规范性判断与价值基础的"文化软实力"。同时,稳定、成熟的宪法意识也是确保社会变迁良性运行的基础。法律的权威源自人民的内心拥护和真诚信仰。60年来,中国社会发展经历了曲折的过程,但1954年宪法和1982年宪法始终成为社会凝聚与和谐的载体与力量,这有赖于民众的宪法意识。完善宪法实施监督机制,关键在于以宪法意识为核心的法治思维能够真正在国家、政府与社会的层面成为不同群体与公民的基本价值共识。坚持宪法至上理念,以更加理性、务实而开放的心态探究宪法实施的路径和机制,才能为全面实施依法治国,推进法治中国建设提供坚实的宪法基础。
Constitutional awareness is a general term for citizens'constitutional knowledge,views,concepts and thought.It provides the spiritual impetus for constitutional practice,democratic politics and the development of the rule of law,and is an indicator of the degree of the rule of law in a country.In the course of social transformation,constitutional awareness represents the inner spiritual strength of the constitutional order,and is itself a 'cultural soft power'that promotes social change,especially the remolding of society's normative judgments and value basis.At the same time,a stable and mature constitutional awareness is the foundation ensuring sound social transformation.Over the last 60 years,China's social development has followed a tortuous path,but as a result of the constitutional awareness of the populace,the 1954 Constitution and the 1982 Constitution have always been vehicles and forces for social cohesion and harmony.The key point in the improvement of the supervisory mechanism for constitutional implementation is that the idea of rule of law centered on constitutional awareness can truly become a basic value consensus for different groups and citizens at the national,governmental and social levels.Only when we adhere to the concept of constitutional supremacy and adopt a more rational,practical and open-minded approach to exploring the pathways and mechanisms for constitutional implementation will we have a firm constitutional foundation for the comprehensive implementation of rule of law in China.
