和谐：当代宪法价值的发展方向<br>Harmony: The Direction of Development of the Contemporary Constitutional Values

Abstract

传统的宪法价值包括主权在民、法治与分权、对权利的保护、自由至上。和谐作为一个新的宪法概念引入宪法的前提是，就社会成员共同的和必然的选择而言，和谐优于冲突。在社会成员之间，首要的是共同的建立于和谐基础上的公共利益。虽然社会成员各自利益相互独立，其利益会产生冲突。但其协调需要的仍是政府公权力和其所依据的公共利益。政府作为人民共同授权行使公权力的组织，其核心职能正是维护人民的权利、自由，这种主体价值指向的一致性，决定了和谐的必然性。和谐作为一种新的宪法价值，虽然不能取代传统的宪法价值，但其指向则相当明确地代表了当代宪法的发展方向。和谐应当作为宪法价值而彰显。 Traditional constitutional values consist of civil rights, constitutionality & decentralization of powers, protection of rights, and the supremacy of freedom. Harmony can be introduced to the constitution as a new constitutional concept on the premise that harmony is superior to conflict as for the common and inevitable choice of members of society. Common public interest based on harmony is of the first importance among members of society. Individual interests of the social members are mutually independent but in conflict. However, the coordination still requires government authority and public interests to which they are pursuant. The government is such an organization authorized by the people to exercise authorities with the core function of maintaining rights and freedom of the people. The consistency of the subject value orientation determines the inevitability of the harmony. Harmony, as a new constitutional value, although cannot replace the traditional constitutional values, its orientation explicitly represents the development trend of contemporary constitution. The harmony shall be manifested as a component of constitutional values.
