摘要
原旨主义宪法解释方法以宪法的原初意图或者原初含义作为解释标准,旨在维护人民主权、多数民主、宪法权威以及司法克制等传统价值。中国特有的人大释宪体制与原旨主义在一定程度上有某种内在的联系,这种释宪体制缩短了解释者与文本作者的"社会距离",在探求宪法原意方面具有天然优势,而且我国的宪政框架之内对人民主权原则的推崇在一定程度上说明,这一宪政体制并不存在对民主不信任的西方式难题。实践中,人大常委会对宪法及宪法性法律的解释也表明,原旨主义背后的理论基础与人大释宪体制契合更为紧密。
As far as constitutional interpretation is concerned, the theory of originalism occupies a special position, which insists that original intention or original meaning of the constitution should be a primary standard of constitutional interpretation, designed to safeguard the popular sovereignty, the majoritarian democracy, authority of the constitution and traditional values such as judicial restraint. The system of constitutional interpretation endemic to China is that Standing Committee of NPC interprets the Constitution. Under this special system of constitutional interpretation, to a certain extent, there is an intrinsic link between this system and originalism, and the system of interpretation of Standing Committee of NPC shortens the "social distance" of the interpreter and the author of the text, which leads to the certain natural superiority in the search for original intent of the constitution. Furthermore within the framework of our constitutionalism the western - style problem of distrust of democracy does not exist. The practice of Standing Committee of NPC interpreting the Constitution and constitutional laws shows that the basic theory of originalism more fits the system of Standing Committee of NPC interpreting the Constitution.
