【正确答案】 1、正确答案：Socialism and democracy and rule of law are not mutually exclusive. Democracy, legal system, freedom, human rights, equality and fraternity are not something peculiar to Capitalism. Rather, they are the common achievements of human civilization made in the long course of history and the common values pursued by the entire mankind. There are over 2, 000 ethnic groups in more than 200 countries and regions in the world. As they differ in social condition, history, culture and the level of development, they achieve democracy in different ways forms. This cultural diversity is independent of man"s will. Socialist democracy, in the final analysis, is to enable the people to govern themselves. This means we need to ensure people"s rights to democratic election, democratic decision-making, democratic management and democratic supervision. It means we need to create conditions for people to oversee and criticize the government. It means we need to ensure that everyone enjoys all-round development in an equal, fair and free environment and that people" s creativity and independent thinking are fully released. It also means that we need to run the country according to law, improve the legal system and strengthen the rule of law. We still lack experience in Socialist construction, including the construction of Socialist democracy. We will continue to follow the opening-up policy, draw on all the achievements of advanced human civilization, and build Chinese democracy in keeping with China" s particular conditions. It will take a long time for the immature, unfledged and underdeveloped socialist system to become mature, full-fledged and developed.
