摘要
美国司法审查从其诞生之日起就引起了学界的广泛关注。关于美国司法审查的民主正当性问题,学界存在两种截然对立的观点。反对者与赞成者分别就民主的含义及对司法权的要求、司法至上的难题、司法权的最终性等问题对司法审查的民主正当性进行了激烈的辩论。然而,美国的经验表明,司法审查具有宪法依据并且已经是一种广为接受的制度,因此其具有民主正当性,我们需要关注的应该是司法审查制度行使的范围。
American judicial review has caused extensive concern from the day of its birth. There are two completely opposite sides concerning about the democratic rationality of American judicial review. Supporters and opponents conduct a fierce debate over such issues as the definition of democracy, demands on judicial power, obstacles in law - supreme and terminality of judicial power. However, American experience indicates that judi- cial review has its basis in constitution and has become a widely accepted system. Therefore, judicial review in America is of democratic rationality, and what we should concern is the conducting scope of these reviewing systems.
