主条目:美国宪法第七章
宪法第七章规定了这部宪法本身得以生效的表决程序。起初美国宪法 作为邦联条例的修正形式,需要获得全部 13 个州的批准方能成立。 然而宪法第七章只要求获得 9 个州以上的批准就可以使宪法生效。为 此,许多学者认为一旦只有 9 个州批准了这部宪法草案,那么将从原 有的邦联中脱离出来,成立一个新的联邦体国家。而不批准的其余州 将留在旧邦联体制内。事实上,这种理论并没有得到实践的印证,因 为 13 个州最终全部批准了这部宪法。
1786年9 月,5 个州的行政长官在安那波利斯举行会议,讨论如何修 改邦联条例以促进各州之间的通商往来。会后他们邀请各州的代表来 到费城进一步讨论发展联邦政府的事宜。在激烈的辩论之后,邦联国 会在1787年2 月 21 日批准了修订邦联条约的方案。除罗德岛州之外 的 12 个州都接受了邀请,并派代表参加 1787 年 5 月在费城举行的会 议。最初的决议案写明了这次会议的目的是起草邦联条例的修正案, 但是会议最终决定重新起草一部宪法。费城制宪会议代表投票同意采 用秘密会议的方式,并且同意新的法案需要获得 13 个州中的 9 个州 的批准才能生效。有人批评说这是对会议权限和现行法律的逾越。但 是对于邦联体制下的政府极度不满的会议代表全体一致同意将宪法 草案交付各州表决。1787 年9 月 17日,宪法在费城正式完稿,此后 经过数个州立法机构伴随激烈辩论的批准过程,1788 年 6 月 21 日新 罕布什尔州成为第九个接纳宪法州。邦联议会随即设置了宪法运作的 时间表,在宪法框架内运作的联邦政府终于在1789年3 月 4日成立。
其中译文如下:
我们合众国人民,为建立更完善的联邦,树立正义,保障国内安宁, 提供共同防务,促进公共福利,并使我们自己和后代得享自由的幸福, 特为美利坚合众国制定本宪法。
美国宪法

The virtue of the constitution of the United States Abstract:The constitution of the United States generated more than two hundred years, although it has experienced several changes but it overall maintained its stability. It mainly embodied in the constitution, the basic principles and basic spirit, constitutional validity, and so on. It was the stability of the U.S. constitution characteristics that make people produce faith and devotion to the constitution. It is conducive to the development of society, and the state in the United States.Key word: The United States Constitution; The United States Constitution; federalism; safeguard; 1787The United States Constitution (Constitution of the United States), known as the federal Constitution or the United States Constitution (U.S. Constitution).It is the supreme law of the United States, and has established the legal basis for the American political system. The constitution of the United States is the first written constitution in the world.Although the constitution of the United States has been through several revisions, but the basic principles of the 1789 constitution still play an important role.In the Constitution, America achieved C, and a federal system. Constitution is supreme, equality is one of the biggest characteristics of the four basic principles.The U.S. Constitutionprovides a successful model for many countries in the future. America bourgeois constitutional is the nature of federalism, affirmedthe legislative, achieved administrative and judicial separation of powers, checks the Separation ofimplementation.The original constitution consists of preface and 7 words.The legislative power belongs to the United States congress, and specifies the composition of congress;The executive power is given to the President of the United States;Judicial power belongs to the U.S. Supreme Court, and specifies the composition of the Supreme Court;The relationship of the states and obligation;A constitutional amendment proposed and get through the program;The federal constitution follows the highest law according to the law of the constitution;This constitution shall come into effect upon approval by the constituent assembled in nine states.The constitution showed that the United States for the first time in the world and created the difference from the British constitutional monarchy democracy. It is different from the parliament cabinet presidential system, and make us a nationally unified central regime of federalism state. Many countries followed this kind of political system and form of state structure many countries follow later.The constitution of the United States is legitimacy, and I think it mainly reflected in three aspects:First, the constitution of the United States are made by congress, and that is the legislative power in congress.Such as the constitution of the United States -- the predecessor, and as the world's important literature in the history of constitutional government, and what the Marx called is "the first declaration of human rights" in the world of the declaration of independence.The second continental congress in 1776 through the file, its produce on the constitution of the United States and the establishment of constitutional governmentsystem has a direct influence. And the earliest is only the brief preface and 7 article of the constitution of the United States, also is set by the constitutional convention in Philadelphia in 1787, and it established in the form of fundamental law to the principle of separation of powers and federalism state institutions.Since then more than two hundred years America has formed the 27 amendments to the constitution, is also in accordance with the procedures approved by the state and by congress, and fully embodies the federal system and the people's will and power.Second, the purpose of the United States constitution has two, one is to restrict government power, and another is safeguard citizen's freedom.It is reflect the constitutional spirit of freedom.It includes four principles, namely the law is supreme principle, the principle of checks and balances, the principle of separation of powers.Its core is the separation of powers and balances.Precisely, the executive, legislative and judicial separation of powers and the balances. In order to prevent any department of power concentration;Respect for autonomy scope and ability, and to prevent that the federal government's power is too strong and affect people's rights and interests;Represents are not only the needs to balance but the interests of the whole country, and the more important is the opinion of voters reflect regional features and so on.Here is focused on the rights of the people, and the responsibility and is not on the obligation to the people.Third, the constitution is the fundamental basis of constitutionalism, and in state political life it has the supreme status. No organization or individual description party and the President, must abide by and comply with the constitution, and the law withinthe framework of activity and exercise.Every party and authority, as well as federal and state major disputes and it can't be solved.It can only resort to the law, the parties must obey the Supreme Court's ruling.The court is the symbol of the constitution and laws, and obey the Supreme Court ruling, and actually it also is subject to the constitution and laws.The constitution of the United States itself has a good quality. Namely, the legitimacy of constitutional goal and the achievement of its goal by means of effectiveness. The federal constitution of the brief introduction in the opening has been clear about the constitutional subject - "we the people of the United States", then clear expression of the constitutional purpose: "to establish a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide the common defense, promote the public welfare, and bring freedom of happiness to ourselves and our posterity." Anyway, the purpose of this itself is justification and that should be admired.Above all, about the value of the stability of the constitution of the United States, we can briefly summary: American society, and the healthy development of the country depend on a sound and mature constitutionalism. Besidesthe perfect and mature constitution depends on stability even a long-term stability, and the constitution even the constitution for a long time.Reference: 《中国宪法与美国宪法的区别》;《美国宪法的历史解读》;《美国宪法里的三权分立》。

2019年美国宪法阅读之宗教与上帝

2019年美国宪法阅读之宗教与上帝一、美国宪法第一修正案中的“建立条款”和“自由行使条款”美国宪法第一修正案规定:“国会不得制定建立宗教的法律,或者禁止其自由行使……(Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;)”。
一般宪法判例书中都把这一规定分为两款,前者称为“建立条款”(establishment clause),后者称为“自由行使条款”(free exercise clause)。
1 表面看来,前者禁止政府帮助信仰,后者禁止政府惩罚信仰,目标似乎都是维护个人宗教信仰自由。
但在实践中这两款却经常出现矛盾。
比如倘若政府对教会财产免税,那么这种豁免是否构成“建立宗教”?如果不对教会财产免税,“自由行使”是否因而受到影响?又比如,如果政府推广义务教育,对那些教义中不主张儿童接受过多教育的教派,比如Amish派,是否侵犯了他们的自由行使?而如果政府豁免Amish儿童不必接受义务教育,那么这种豁免是否又构成“建立宗教”?再比如,如果政府在军队中设立随军牧师,反对者会认为这违反建立条款,但是如果政府不设立随军牧师,那些无法得到牧师指导的信仰者又会认为这违反了自由行使条款。
矛盾的产生的原因似乎是以上对“建立宗教”的理解不限于政教合一、宣布国教,不限于国家与教会关系,而包括所有政府因为补助或豁免而对宗教产生的直接、间接的利益。
如果“建立宗教”的含义仅限于政教合一,则以上三例都不至于引发矛盾。
一个由文义上产生的不同解读,在汉语中不容易看清楚。
第一修正案中讲到不得立法设立宗教的时候,用的是an establishment of religion,而不是the establishmentof religion,这就出现了两种理解,一种理解是“政府不得建立任何宗教”;另一种理解是“政府不得只建立一种宗教”,也就是说,政府建立宗教是可以的,但不应局限于一种,对宗教的补助和豁免要一视同仁,不得厚此薄彼。

美国宪法内容浅析

美国宪法内容浅析概述:美利坚合众国宪法,简称美国宪法,是美国的根本大法。
该宪法于1787年9月17日在费城召开的美国制宪会议上获得代表的批准,并在此后不久被当时美国拥有的13个州的特别会议所批准。
根据这部宪法,美国成为一个由各个拥有主权的州所组成的联邦国家,同时也有一个联邦政府来为联邦的运作而服务。
1789年,美国宪法正式生效。
该部宪法为日后许多国家的成文宪法的制定提供了成功的典范。
一、美国宪法的基本原则美国的宪法建立在七个基本原则之上:人民主权、共和制、联邦制、三权分立、制约与均衡、有限政府、个人权利。
1.人民主权:意思是人民当家作主,这不是直接统治。
比如,不能为所欲为,或创造法律。
但美国公民有权选择代表去制定法律。
2.共和制:美国是一个共和政体。
美国公民通过投票来推选出政治代表,来行使他们的权利。
3.联邦制:是一种通过在州政府和联邦政府之间分享权力的方式,进行国家管理的体制。
联邦政府只享有宪法明确列举的授予权力,而未列举的保留权力归个州所有。
4.三权分立:立法、行政、司法权力相互独立,由国会代表组成的立法机关制定法律。
由总统领导的行政机关执行法律。
司法部门包括法院系统负责解释说明法律。
5.制约与均衡:法律需要国会通过,但总统有否决权。
即使总统通过了,最高法院也可以指出里面的某个法律违反了宪法的某个基本原则。
所以,没有另一方的认可,任何一个部门都不可以完全做主。
6.有限政府:制约与均衡里就有了有限政府的概念。
这个确保了政府各个部门之间相互制约和协作。
以及,没有一个人能浪费他们的职权。
人人都必须遵守法律,没有列外。
7.个人权利:是美国宪法中的一个真正的重点。
它允许我们有言论自由和新闻自由等。
所有的个人权利都写在权利法案中,也就是美国宪法的前十条修正案。
二、美国宪法的主要内容美国宪法由宪法原文、宪法解释和宪法修正案三部分组成。
宪法原文由序言和7条正文组成。
1.宪法原文(1)宪法序言美国宪法的序言只有一句话,由52个单词构成。
