Analysis on the Viewpoint of"Legislation for Person"in the Provisional Constitution of Republic of China
The issue of"legislation for person"was a significant controversy in the early years of the Republic of China.Initially,it was used by Yuan Shikai as a pretext to attack the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China.However,some influential figures in politics and academia were deceived by Yuan's arguments and even manipulated by him.The governmental system established by the Provisional Constitution was actually a presidential systembut mistaken for a cabinet one.The reason why Yuan Shikai accused the Provisional Constitution of being"legislation for person"was entirely to create public opinion for the abolition of the Provisional Constitution in the future.
