I opened the constitution class, first class was to show "Evelyn". A student at the law school got the schedule, often point to the constitution column quipped: you see, and more than a political lesson. Constitution is the first professional courses Chinese university law school students, but the students according to the experience, it is the professional course constitution, still be inferior to saying is the political theory course, and is a hackneyed and stereotyped expressions full of course, because most of the content of this course, teacher, teacher in junior middle school, high school teacher school they once not to mind taking the trouble in the political lesson classroom restatement. Indeed, they Chinese constitution about reading the keywords, is closely related with politics, and law and life distant. This part proves a metaphor in academic circles: China constitution like a balloon, her high up in the air, but only the effects of advertising, on people's life is not what impact. I show "Evelyn" to tell the students: there is a constitutional world, it is not only the basis of debate and decision of the court, and the right of every person and is closely related to daily life. In other words, I want to tell the students the answers to the following questions: why do we need a constitution?

1941Years, Ireland entered into a "child welfare law", in the10Section1Small states: unless the death of a spouse, or need parental consent, single mothers and fathers to be from the government to regain and minor children the right to live together. According to this law, Evelyn and her brother will be government take care of the aged16Years old,Desmond not only lost and children live together, teach the rights of the child, or even to visit children must be approved by the government. Be honest, Ireland"The provisions of the child welfare law", on the one hand shows the height of the government responsibility consciousness: let all the children of single parent families receive proper care and good education, is the responsibility of the government; on the other hand also shows the government understanding and goodwill towards the single father or mother: single parents, especially the economic conditions not enough to hire a nanny who want to work, unable to take care of and educate their children, to take care of and educate the child is unable to work. But the problem is, the government's responsibility consciousness is not always timely rain, the government's good feeling good are not always timely assistance, toDesmond and Evelyn, the government according to the"Child welfare law" to protect people, people, people, Bring pain to them, compared it to a humanitarian catastrophe, it does not have. The consequences of this disaster, a more exaggerated statistics in the film: the government of Ireland 1/3 children living in welfare institutions for child welfare law. In Ireland, tearing the family law!  

The law proverb goes, freedom and rights are liberty and rights under the law. If the law deprives a single parents and children the right to live, he or she can give up this right. But the constitution of truth in the old saying: the discount law shall not contravene the constitution, if the law deprived of this right in violation of the provisions of the constitution, that the deprivation is illegal.1937"The Irish Constitution" year officially went into effect, the constitution article41Regulation: the basic rights of parents and children have the talent, sharing together the joy of life; Article42Regulation: parents no fault should not be deprived of the mother or the father of the child's education. Is this the two provisions of the Irish constitution based on the film, judge Daly announced,1941Years of a child welfare law article10Basic rights against their parents and children living together Festival gift, and is therefore repugnant to the constitution. The provisions of article two the Irish constitution based on the judge, forest, as a single fatherDesmond, also has not deprived of rights, and children living together.

In the film, Evelyn is really a "guardian angel of light" lucky girl. Indeed, the constitution of Ireland is the ray of deprived of family reunion right Irish "angel of light". The law is not always good, the law is not always the truth and justice avoidance significantly, accordingly, is above the law we have to need a constitution, our goodness, truth, justice, the justice as the. The existing constitution, enable us to judge our actions the legitimacy of law, provide a trial. It may be lack of the Christian tradition, China people won't believe Evelyn in the eyes of the "angel of light". Chinese constitution was some people jokingly called history textbook, political textbooks, is she is not the "Evelyn" of the constitution. In the2004The Ten Session of the National People's Congress two conference years to amend the constitution, a speech to the National People's Congress: our criminal law, the general principles of the civil law, property law, contract law, private property of citizens have made meticulous protection, what need is there again in the amendment of the Constitution provisions of what "the state protects the private property of citizens"? Yes, as long as we still hold the law is good, can always make the truth and justice avoidance, as long as we continue to believe that a violation of rights and freedoms from private and not always may come from the public power, not from the law enacted by a legislative organ, Then, we will not be useful criminal law and civil law, etc. to prevent private violations, the constitution against invasion from the law and the authority of the state of the concept; then, we really do not need to repeat the ordinary law in the constitution is to protect the rights and freedoms, even, we really don't need a constitution.
