论中国司法审查的空间

依据法治原则,任何公权力的行为都应当接受合宪性和合法性的审查,从各国的实践看,这种审查主要由司法机关或者类似于司法机关地位的特设机关进行。但受各国政治理念、政治体制、司法机关地位等因素的制约,司法机关并不一定能够对所有的公权力行为进行司法审查。我国目前正处于司法改革过程之中,司法机关对公权力进行审查必然是司法改革的一大热点。简而言之,我国的司法机关不具备对公权力进行合宪性审查的基本条件,但完全具备对公权力的合法性进行审查的基本条件。

The Space of Chinese Judicial Review

According to the principle of the rule of law,every action of public power should receive the review of constitutionality and validity which is mostly accomplished by the judiciary or the special department of similar status with the judiciary in every nation's practice.But due to political conceptions,political systems and judiciary status,the judiciary isn't able to review all the actions of public power.At present China is on the reform of judicature in which the judicial review is inevitably a hotspot.To be brief,Chinese judiciary doesn't possess basic qualifications to review the constitutionality of public power,but absolutely possesses basic qualifications to review the validity of public power.
