中华人民共和国第一部宪法制定考论

中共中央领导人毛泽东等开始并不想立即制定1954年宪法。受毛泽东委托,刘少奇于1952年10月访苏时就中国暂不制定宪法而由《共同纲领》代替问题请教斯大林。由于斯大林坚持中国应尽快制定宪法,中国遂转而积极制定宪法,并于1954年颁布。1954年宪法的制定工作是认真的。但由于形势的迅速转变等多种原因,宪法的实施却成了问题。

On the Background for Drafting the First Constitution of the People's Republic of China

Mao Zedong at first did not want to draw up the constitution. In Octobor 1952 when Liu Shaoqi visited the Soviet Union, he was entrusted by Mao Zedong to ask for the opinion of Stalin over the question of drawing up the constitution, proposing to use the Outline of the Concensus to function as constitution. But because Stalin staunchly insisted that China immediately draw up constitution, China began the work and uhe first constitution was published in 1954. The drawing up of the 1954 constitution was very conscientious, but due to various factors, especially the rapidly changed situation, it was not put into effect immediately.
