On the Root of the Normativity of the CPC's Inner-Party Regulations
The core question regarding the sources of the normativity of the CPC's inner-party regulations is where they derive the power to guide,evaluate,and constrain individual actions.By integrating Joseph Raz's concept of service-oriented authority in shaping legitimate authority with the CPC's practices in the Party governance and state administration,the explanation of the root of the norma-tivity of the inner-Party regulations can be conducted around historical,institutional,and practical logics.From a historical perspec-tive,the CPC's inner-Party regulations have always revolved around the the Party's central tasks and the overall political situation,playing a crucial role in safeguarding and serving the Party as it deals with the risks and challenges in different historical periods and a-chieves phased goals.In terms of institutional logic,the CPC's inner-Party regulations fully absorb public opinions through democratic rule-making procedures.Moreover,the moral reasoning embodied in the inner-Party regulations is considered to be at a"higher"level than that of national laws,effectively reflecting such noble value pursuits as the"morality of aspiration"and the"great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation"As far as practical logic is concerned,the CPC has continuously gained recognition and support from the people during its leadership in the process of revolution,construction and reform,and the normativity of the CPC's regulations has also been strengthened in this process.
