Washington and USA constitution

 

   Washington automatic retire at two term is full, a America term of not more than two precedent in the history of the world, upload for leadership. Later American presidents have followed his example (only Roosevelt for special reasons, the Second World War broke the Convention), term not exceeding two. It was thus that Washington's move is the most valuable contribution.

   

   In 1787 the "constitution" in Washington tenure, constructs the framework of USA democracy, established the Republic, federalism, the presidential system, this is a restriction of power, balance the interests of the constitution. In 1789, the Constitution and an increase of 10 amendment, the provisions of the people's freedom of speech, press, assembly and freedom of conscience. The "Declaration of independence before this". "Declaration of independence", "Federal Constitution", national institutions, as well as Washington automatic office, which is more valuable? Obviously, "Federal Constitution" the most important. "Federal Constitution" not only makes the American "Declaration of independence" into reality, also to make the country more in line with the "Declaration of independence" spirit and ideals. Washington in his full automatic retiring after two terms, that he does not cling to power, the performance of his have farsightedness and good quality. But the world as Washington has done little desire for power can have several people? So, only to the individual wise is not enough, not by Congress in 1951 twenty-second amendment "the president can only serve two terms", Washington began practice is difficult to continue. So, should Washington is the most valuable contribution to American constitution.

   

   Washington stressed: "the provisions of the constitution, the power always belongs to the people, for some specific purpose, and in a certain period, the people's representative power to their own election, no matter what time, if the power of execution against their interests, or do not meet their wishes, they all have no doubt recall their servant. This shows that, the Constitution with the intention of public power limits, to protect the rights of citizens. Public power against the interests of citizens, citizens have the right to change, even the officials of dereliction of duty, which reflects the people's sovereignty principle from jurisprudence, is of great significance to the construction of legal system of all countries in the world. Of course, also want to see the constitution is not equal to the constitutionalism, and questions of "slaves" discrimination provisions, American constitution has been pursued, USA double standards of human rights, the double values have been questioned. "Declaration of independence" full of equality, independence, freedom and democracy words, announced that Washington was sworn in American: with all the countries in the world, friendly. Since then, America made a lot of land from the European settlers, Mexico, Russian hands, territorial expansion. In 1882, Americans has been continued for decades of "the Chinese Exclusion act". In 1900, the Eight Power Allied forces invaded China in a it figure.Through American Congress from 1870 to 1904 against a series of Chinese and their descendants discrimination act, the 1882 through the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is the most typical. Until 1943 America will this act repealed. However, American Congress has never officially recognized "the Chinese Exclusion Act" and America basic founding principles. 

  

     The development of a country, the critical factor to the highest leadership group and individual ruler. But we must see, a nation rely only on individual decision making is very risk. The implementation of the "term expiry system", is a legal measure. But the situation is different, we must proceed from reality, can not copy, in term time is three years, four years, or five years, or longer time, the term session times was a good, or two good, or even longer time, also through practice perfect. As for our country, from the new Chinese a began to make "term expiry system" is clearly not realistic. After the founding of new China decades, in the older generation revolutionist led by Mao Zedong led, great changes occurred in China, the universally acknowledged, attract worldwide attention, the fact is the best proof. Although there are twists and turns. Later the situation changes, the term expiry system is naturally drains into the watercourse. The most fundamental of a country is to choose their own path of development, have a good constitution, a constitution, a ruling party.

    
   If learn some what words from Washington's practice, that is to "natural rights" as the country's most important ideas, choose the rule of constitution, administration way, make decision-making, democratization, avoid excessive rule colors; real constitutional, legal principle of limiting government the power, the power in the "cage", to prevent individual do as one pleases, protect the rights of citizens. The "cage" is constitutional, legal restrictions. China have different national conditions and USA, democracy and the rule of law is a gradual process, should be gradually put in place. After 30 years of reform and opening up and development, China has possessed the foundation of the rule of law, now is the time to speed up the process, which is a development opportunity. The worry now is someone to China situation as an excuse, naturally or half unconsciously to slow down or block the process of democracy and law system. This, the inevitable corruption, social contradiction, unfavorable national long period of stability.
