人民主权：从抽象的到具体的——卢梭与贡斯当思想之比较

贡斯当与卢梭关于人民主权学说的相似点在于都把"自由"作为其逻辑起点和归宿,他们人民主权学说的不同点在于"人民主权是有限的还是无限的"、"人民主权是否可以分割"、"人民主权的实现形式是间接民主还是直接民主"这三个方面。贡斯当通过对卢梭人民主权学说的批判,把"抽象的人民主权学说"演化成"具体的人民主权学说"。抽象的人民主权必须落实为具体的制度安排,否则其极有可能成为"暴政"的口实。

On the Popular Sovereignty: from Abstract to Concrete——Compared with Thoughts of Rousseau and Benjamin Constant

The similarity of popular sovereignty of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Benjamin Constant lies in they both used "liberty" as its logic point and end.The differences of their popular sovereignty consist in "Is the popular sovereignty limited or unlimited","Whether is the popular sovereignty divided","Is the realization form of popular sovereignty direct democracy or representative democracy".By criticizing the popular sovereignty of Rousseau,Benjamin Constant turns the abstract theory of popular sovereignty into the concrete theory of popular sovereignty.The abstract popular sovereignty must be turned into concrete systems,or it may become the tool of tyranny.
