Modernization of Chinese Rule of Law with Extraterritorial Thoughts as a Reference——Analysis of Rousseau's Thought of"People's Rule of Law"
The political report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC puts forward the great goal and task of achieving the Chinese-style modernization,and clarifies the function and role that the construction of"people-centered"rule of law can play for the realization of the Chinese modernization.In order to accelerate the modernization of rule of law in China,we not only need to explore the local resources of the excellent traditional Chinese legal culture,but also need to learn from the extraterritorial ideological achievements and experience.Rousseau,as one of the important thinkers in the history of Western thoughts,especially in the history of legal thoughts,offers a rich connotation of"people's rule of law"in his legal thoughts.The systematic interpretation of Rousseau's thoughts of the"people's rule of law"and the grasp of the social and historical background and connotation of his thoughts will not only enable us to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Rousseau's works and thoughts as a modern Enlightenment thinker,but also help us to pass on the essence of the civilization of the rule of law,which has been passed down to us for thousands of years,so as to devote to the comprehensive promotion of the great cause of modernization of the rule of law in China by taking a broader vision and a higher starting point.
