论法律权威之确立

确立法律权威是依法治国的基本要素，法律只有促进国家意志与民众意愿进行良性互动才具有生命力。如果民众不认同法律权威，那么法律就只是国家单方面的意志，并不能真正定纷止争。长期以来，围绕传统儒家思想与西方法律文化之间的冲突与融合，如何将法律本土化一直是困扰民众认同法律权威的根源。当代中国法治现代化的主要任务在于公开民主地制定良法，让民众监督执法，提高司法水平，改进司法权的运行机制，提高民众运用法律维权的能力，共同构筑民众认同法律权威之路。

Establishment of Legal Authority

To establish the authority of law is the fundamental element of the rule of law,and only to promote positive interaction between people’s intending and the will of country will the law be vitali-ty. If people do not agree with the authority of law,the law is the will of state unilaterally and it will not really solve disputes. For a long time,about the conflict and integration between the traditional Confucianism and western legal culture and how to localize the law are the root of troubling people to recognize the authority of law. In the process of modernization construction in our country,the main task is to formulate law publicly and democratically,to let the public supervise the law enforcement, to improve the level of justice,to enhance judicial power operation mechanism,to improve the ability of people in protecting their legal rights and to develop public approval authority of law together.
