Abstract

Constitutional theory dating to Montesquieu identified three branches of government, each with a specific function: the legislature enacted general rules, the executive enforced the rules, and the judiciary resolved disputes about the rules’ meaning and application. Every government had to have these branches in some form; that is, the branches were necessary elements in a governance structure. In addition, the branches were exhaustive: that is, taken together they did everything a government could do.

保护宪政民主的机构:一个分析框架，特别涉及选举管理机构

可以追溯到孟德斯鸠的宪法理论确定了政府的三个部门，每个部门都有特定的职能：立法机构制定一般规则，行政部门执行规则，司法部门解决关于规则含义和适用的争议。每个政府都必须以某种形式设立这些分支机构；也就是说，分支机构是治理结构中的必要元素。此外，这些部门是详尽无遗的：也就是说，他们做了政府能做的一切。

期刊介绍： The Asian Journal of Comparative Law (AsJCL) is the leading forum for research and discussion of the law and legal systems of Asia. It embraces work that is theoretical, empirical, socio-legal, doctrinal or comparative that relates to one or more Asian legal systems, as well as work that compares one or more Asian legal systems with non-Asian systems. The Journal seeks articles which display an intimate knowledge of Asian legal systems, and thus provide a window into the way they work in practice. The AsJCL is an initiative of the Asian Law Institute (ASLI), an association established by thirteen leading law schools in Asia and with a rapidly expanding membership base across Asia and in other regions around the world.
