What is called "the constitution"

1954Years, the new China first "constitution" after the publication of Mao Zedong, at the thirtieth session of the Central People's Government Committee that:"(Constitution)By then, the people of the whole country everyone to implement, especially the staff of state organs to take the lead in the introduction, first you must implement the. Do not implement is a violation of the constitution." But turned to Mao Zedong, the party, said: "there is no constitutional society, is the best society. Five thousand years of Chinese constitution, never, never see what loss! The Han and Tang Dynasties prosperity, has the Constitution? The prepared to play the constitution, the results fall faster. The lesson is profound! We have quite a few comrades, is a superstition that constitution is the constitution, safeguard a country of a ready-made panacea, attempted to take party in under the constitution. I never believe in the law, do not believe that the constitution, is to get rid of this Constitution Science I. The Kuomintang has the constitution, also very seriously, but not by us to Taiwan? Our party has no constitution, defy laws human and divine, the result is not the victory? So, superstition constitution thought is very wrong, is to the survival of the party. Our great glory correct party is always not in favor of the constitution, however, after the founding of the PRC, taking into account the foreigner countries have formulated the constitution, and Chinese intellectuals have not fully become tame tools party situation, the masses of the people but also by the miserable situation the idea of rule of law poison, in order to gain time, transformation and education of the masses of the people, strengthen the leadership of the party, or to the constitution. The constitution, essence is the negation of the leadership of the party, in politics is extremely harmful, in a last ditch circumstances, we must turn harm into good, to minimize the restriction of the constitution, adhere to the leadership of the party."
