Chapter 20 Amendments to the Constitution
The second time of the second Cangsi Congress of the 17th Cangsi Congress was killed. The seventeenth Cangsi Congress made a formal request for resignation the day before, and also knew that the Supreme Authority of the Republic had put aside the issue. Because there was no relevant official news, the matter about Wang Yuanqing's voluntary resignation was a sensation. Not only did many journalists who dreamed of getting scoops got what they wanted, but it also made most of the citizens of the Republic panic.
At this point, almost everyone is discussing topics related to Wang Yuanqing's re-election.
What the outside world never expected was that just one day later, Wang Yuanqing put forward a more shocking proposal at the plenary congress.
On February 2018, the second day of the conference, Wang Yuanqing formally proposed the "Constitutional Amendment Plan" as the leader of the Central Group.
This move is both extremely sudden and has long been speculated by outsiders.
Long before the thugs, when Wang Yuanqing proposed political reform, some visionary politicians made bold predictions, asserting that Wang Yuanqing would amend the constitution during his reign, and clearly mentioned that political reforms either succeeded by the success of constitutional amendment or failed by the failure of constitutional amendment.
It can be said that there is no suspense about constitutional amendment, the difference is just when it will be carried out.
The problem is also here. In the past year, under the active promotion of Wang Yuanqing, the Republic has issued many laws and regulations, but has not revised the constitution as predicted by the outside world. Because many more worthy of attention happened in the past year, the matter about the Republic's constitutional amendment has gradually been forgotten.
When Wang Yuanqing threw out the "Constitutional Amendment" at the general conference, the suddenness can be imagined.
Since the constitutional amendment procedure has been initiated, there is no secret to the specific content.
Before the Republic officially announced the specific content of the "Constitutional Amendment", major news media made bold predictions about its main content. The Republic's largest content website even conducted an incorrect "poll survey" on the content of the "Constitutional Amendment". Listed the affairs that the people were most concerned about in recent years and could only implement constitutional amendment, and then let the people vote for it. Needless to say, the people are most concerned about the "ownership system".
Putting aside national factors, among countries that pursue "democratic politics", the biggest political difference is "ownership".
To put it bluntly, the so-called "ideological and social values and public opinion tide" are inseparable from "ownership".
Although "ownership" involves all aspects of production and life, the most important thing is the land on which human beings rely for survival.
It can be said that since the mythology began to be passed down, land has become a basic element of human survival. In the thousands of years of recorded history, all the excitement among human beings has been related to land. No matter how fast the technology develops, human production and life ultimately depends on land.
In the Republic's "Popular Survey", the people's most concerned about land ownership.
Having the public's high concern for land ownership is not only a manifestation of their own interests, but also an obstacle that must be overcome in the political reform of the Republic in the new era.
Before the New Year, most citizens of the Republic would not discuss too much about land ownership.
From the standpoint of Li Nian before, there was neither the public opinion basis for reforming land ownership nor the political basis for reforming land ownership. From another perspective, it is not difficult to find that Ji Zuoguo did not implement political reform, but focused on adjusting the industrial structure. Zhao Rundong did not engage in political reform, but focused on stabilizing the surrounding situation. It was not that the two did not have the idea of political reform, but that the time was immature and did not have the conditions for political reform. In other words, without the foundation laid by Ji Zuoguo and Zhao Rundong, Wang Yuanqing could not implement political reform.
Political reforms have been in the old year, and significant changes have occurred before all aspects of the Republic.
Perhaps in the outside world, the biggest change brought by political reform to the Republic is the sharp expansion of national strength; not to mention other things, the impact of political reform has allowed the national capital of the Republic to grow rapidly; even from four years, the scale of private capital in the Republic soared more than a hundred times in just a few years; when the year was held, no private enterprises in the Republic entered the world to encourage the strong, and by the past years, many private enterprises have entered the world as strong, and three of the former strong ones have been from the Republic. Private enterprises; private enterprises grow rapidly, bringing increasingly strong national comprehensive strength; it can be said without politely that if there were no strong national capital, it is unknown whether Wang Yuanqing could defeat the challenges from Japan and India in the four and Xi Nian. But from another perspective, we can find that the biggest change brought by political reform is not the visible "hard power." but the invisible "soft power"; to be precise, it is the changes in the ideological and values of the people of the Republic.
In fact, the importance of civic values can also be seen from the way of political reform.
At the beginning, political reform was more like "reform" than "change".
Not to mention, when it comes to the basic power system of the Republic, the reform measures of the previous year were very limited and did not touch the key points. In the year of Strong, after Wang Yuanqing was elected as the head of state for the second time, in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Republic's State Television, he clearly mentioned that political reform adopts the reform route of "from the grassroots to the central government" and uses the "easy first and then difficult" method to resolve domestic contradictions, not to avoid problems, but to have two main purposes. One is to avoid sharper domestic contradictions caused by reform, and the other is to establish a new value in the minds of the people through orderly Aijie. It has to be said that Wang Yuanqing said "honestly".
The biggest gain of political reform in the past year was the "sense of identity" of reforms by most citizens.
To be precise, it is the "civil consciousness" that has been awakened.
At the beginning of political reform, Wang Yuanqing clearly stated at a high-level meeting that when economic reform and social reform can no longer meet the higher demands of the general public for improving the living environment and obtaining social rights, political reform is the only way out; if political reform is to succeed, one prerequisite is to launch a "New Culture Movement" to engrave "civil consciousness" deep in the souls of the people of every republic; only when the people actively participate and the full support of the people can lay a solid foundation for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Without saying anything else, this conclusion can confirm Wang Yuanqing's status in the history of the Republic.
The political reform of the thugs, almost all reform measures are directly related to "civil consciousness".
So, is Jing "civil consciousness"?
For Chinese civilization, "citizen" is a foreign word, and "citizen consciousness" is also an "imported product." From the root, "citizen" came from the city-states of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, and gradually became forgotten with the disappearance of the slave-based democratic republic. It was not until the Renaissance that the concept of "citizen" was mentioned again and was widely adopted by the constitutions of Western countries. In terms of nature, "citizen" has two attributes: natural and legal. In terms of natural attributes, citizens must be living beings born and existed based on natural physiological laws; in terms of legal attributes, citizens participate in social activities as members of a country in accordance with the provisions of national laws, and enjoy rights and inheritance. Responsible obligations. The so-called "citizen consciousness" refers to the self-awareness of citizens' status in the country, consciously taking the basic rights and obligations stipulated by the Constitution and laws as the criterion, and based on their own dominant position in national politics and social life, and combining the sense of responsibility, mission and views of rights and obligations of the master of the country. "citizen consciousness" revolves around the relationship between citizens' rights and obligations, reflects the moral concepts, value orientations, behavioral norms, etc. between citizens' treatment of individuals and the state, individuals and society, individuals and others, and emphasizes the basic moral consciousness of people's sense of responsibility, public moral consciousness and democratic consciousness in social life.
It can be seen from this that "citizen consciousness" is based on a legal society and reflects the relationship between citizens' rights and obligations.
Establishing a complete legal system and clarifying the rights and obligations of citizens through laws is the political reform in the past year, and it can even be said to be the ultimate goal pursued by the three heads of republics, Ji Jieguo, Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing.
For citizens of the Republic, obligations are important, and rights are even more important.
In the traditional thought of the Chinese nation, the values of "scholars" are closest to "civil consciousness", while in the traditional thought of the Chinese nation, they pay more attention to obligations rather than rights. To give a simple example, before political reform, all citizens of the Republic knew that they had tax obligations, but most citizens did not know the "rights of taxpayers." The serious imbalance between rights and obligations laid the groundwork for internal contradictions in the Republic, and can even be said to be the main cause of internal contradictions within the Republic. Only obligations that are equal to rights can be effectively fulfilled. Still take tax payment as an example, because many citizens did not enjoy the rights brought by legal tax payment, tax evasion is not only not regarded as a shameful act, but also taken as a matter of course. Similarly, only the rights guaranteed by obligations can be enjoyed by every citizen.
The main way of political reform is to stimulate citizen awareness by returning rights.
Then, the most important thing to return is "ownership
Whether it is property ownership or land ownership, it ultimately means "state ownership." In other words, whose republic is the republic, is it the republic of citizens of Xinbing, or the republic of a minority of people in power? There is no doubt that this question cannot be answered in words, but can only be answered in actions. Because human production and life depend on land, only by determining land ownership can the thugs determine state ownership.
The problem is that land system reform is too sensitive.
Even if Wang Yuanqing had the idea of changing land ownership at the beginning of political reform, it would not be possible to implement it immediately. From a certain perspective, even at this time, it is not the best time to change land ownership, because the distribution of interests related to land has not been optimized.
For Wang Yuanqing, there is no other choice.
In the past year, the Republic has issued many laws and gradually liberalized the use and use of land. For example, in the 20th year of the Land Transfer Law, it passed the "Land Transfer Law", which determined the legal status of land use rights and collective land ownership, laying the foundation for the subsequent entry of agricultural land into the transfer market. For example, the "Land Paid Development Law" passed in previous years finally eliminated the restrictions on agricultural land and commercial land, and fully liberalized the land trading market. To a certain extent, these two laws have opened a gap in the Republic's land system.
.For the entire political reform, the two laws related to land played an important role. For the social changes of the Republic, these two laws are of great significance. Not to mention, by fully marketizing the transfer of land, it laid the foundation for intensive agricultural development and provided the strongest impetus for the urbanization process. More importantly, the two laws played a crucial role in balancing land interests. No matter how the outside world looks at it, after the return of the year, the people of the Republic, especially 300 million farmers, became the biggest beneficiaries.
The problem is, no matter how important the two laws are, they do not touch the root of the problem.
According to the provisions of the two laws, the only thing that enters the market to circulate is the right to use the land, not the ownership of the land. There is no doubt that such laws are imperfect. Without solving the land ownership, no matter how perfect the two laws are, there are huge loopholes. In other words, if the political trend changes, those in power can modify the two laws at any time and use land ownership to plunder the vested interests of citizens.
At this point, what needs to be changed is land ownership.
Obviously, the real situation in the Republic determines the difficulty of changing land ownership.
If it were placed before the old year, I am afraid that many people would regard Wang Yuanqing's move as a "traitor." Of course, many people now believe that Wang Yuanqing's "color revolution" in the Republic is just a standpoint of most citizens, and it is time for the head of state to propose a "constitutional amendment".
In the past, there were three main problems that restricted land reform. One was relatively tense agricultural land, the second was obstruction of vested interest groups, and the third was the imperfect legal system. The reality brought about by these three problems is: in order to ensure the main grain supply of the people across the country, that is, the output of major grains, the state must ensure the minimum agricultural land to prevent the relocation of arable land for other purposes, and it must be restricted by the system. Due to the restrictions on land use, interest groups with public power as the core became the biggest obstacle to land reform and also became opponents of many relevant reform measures. When the political system still needs to be improved, vested interest groups that hold public power also grasped the legislative power, making the legal system an empty talk. It can be said that before Ji Jieguo left office, that is, before the "Four Acts" passed in the seventh year, almost no one knew what method should be used to resolve the internal contradictions of the Republic.
From the Likou year to the Tian year, during the outbreak, the national conditions of the country have undergone great changes.
First of all, the "network demand" for grain has been greatly reduced. In fact, the Republic's grain consumption has not decreased, but has increased a lot. In the year, the average annual grain consumption of the Republic is close to the mouth kilogram, and Likou only has wine kilograms in the year. Even if the population in four or seven years is the thug of previous years, the mountain courtyard has increased by about 10,000 tons in seven years. It is not a challenge for the Republic to increase the demand of 10,000 tons in the year, because within the year, the unit grain output per unit has increased by nearly paste. In other words, without reducing the area of arable land, the annual grain output of 2 phenols still has a surplus of about 10,000 tons.
Although the annual data of phenol is very special, because according to the central government's deployment, the grain output in that year must increase by 10,000 tons compared with previous years, which only plays a role in stabilizing grain prices, under the promotion of various modern agricultural technologies, especially the influence of agricultural production industrialization, it can not only greatly increase grain output, but also greatly weaken the dependence of agriculture on land. If agriculture achieves factory production, land will no longer be the primary factor of agriculture. If land loses its position as the primary factor of agricultural production, the value of land will be greatly reduced. In this case, to ensure grain production
The policy of arable land protection on the basis of quantity has lost the reason for its existence. In fact, even if industrial agricultural production is achieved, it will still take several years, because the Republic has entered a period of population aging, the population will decrease sharply within the next year, and the number of labor will also be greatly reduced. It is necessary to reduce the number of agricultural workers through intensive agricultural production and improve agricultural production efficiency. More importantly, the impact of reducing arable land on grain production is not significant. It can even be said that by reducing arable land and increasing agricultural product prices, farmers' production enthusiasm can also be increased, thereby increasing grain production.
Relatively speaking, the other two problems have long been solved.
In fact, since Ji Youguo, the leaders of the Republic have been working hard for political reform and changing land ownership. Not to mention anything else, the "Four Acts" proposed by Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong were preparing for land reform. Through the construction of the old year, by the time Wang Yuanqing came to power, the "government" situation in the Republic had greatly improved, and interest groups with public power as the core collapsed, and the legal systems in all aspects were also improved through political reform during Wang Yuanqing's administration.
To use external comments, when Wang Yuanqing threw out the "Constitutional Amendment", carrying out land ownership reform was already "everything is ready, only the east wind is not needed.
Of course, the outside world still underestimated Wang Yuanqing.
The head of state proposed not the "Land Ownership Reform Act." But the "Constitutional Amendment". In other words, reforming land ownership is only one of the contents, at most one of the main contents, not all.
When people across the country speculated about the main content of the "Constitutional Amendment" and hoped to change the land ownership that would restrict the disadvantages of the Republic's social development by amending the Constitution, that is, at night, the Republic's State Television focused on reporting the entire content of the "Constitutional Amendment" in the current affairs news during prime time, and put forward the view of voting for the whole nation in the form of news comments.
