Generation & Replacement:A Time-orientation of the Original Meanings of the Chinese Constitution
The original meanings of the Constitution refer to what constitutional provisions mean when they were made or changed.Original meanings of the Constitution have two dimensions of norm and history,and they are text-based and generated during constitutional establishment and modifications while replaced during con-stitutional modifications.In China,their generation times basically coincide with processes of constitutional establishment and modifications,beginning with certain central organization of the ruling party's announcing its initial decision of constitutional establishment or modifications,ending with the National People's Congress's adopting draft Constitutions or draft Constitutional Amendments.Comprehensive and partial re-placements of the Constitution's original meanings are realized by its comprehensive and partial modifications respectively.At the time of comprehensive replacements,original meanings that generated during constitu-tional establishment and past constitutional modifications may be reemployed to some degree.The Constitu-tional Amendments can serve as the standard to define limits of partial replacements.
