(October 13, 2021) This year marks the centenary of the founding of our party. 100 years ago, once the Communist Party of China was born, it established seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation as its original heart and mission, and made unremitting exploration and struggle to realize the people's ownership of the country. During the period of the new democratic revolution, our Party established people's political power in the base areas and accumulated practical experience for the establishment of a new political system. After practical exploration and theoretical thinking, the Chinese Communists with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative creatively put forward the idea of implementing the people's Congress system. In April 1945, Comrade Mao Zedong said: "The new democratic political power organization should adopt democratic centralism. The people's congresses at all levels should decide on major policies and elect governments. It is democratic and centralized, that is, centralization on the basis of democracy and democracy under the guidance of centralization. Only this system can not only express extensive democracy and give people's congresses at all levels a high degree of power, but also centralize In handling state affairs, so that governments at all levels can centrally handle all affairs entrusted by people's congresses at all levels and ensure all necessary democratic activities of the people. " After a long bloody struggle and arduous struggle, our Party led the people to establish the people's Republic of China, completed the historical tasks of national independence and people's liberation, and hundreds of millions of people turned themselves into masters of the country and society. In September 1954, the first session of the first National People's Congress passed the constitution of the people's Republic of China, marking the formal establishment of the people's Congress system, the country's fundamental political system. Since the reform and opening up, our party has unswervingly promoted the construction of socialist democracy and the rule of law, adhered to the path of socialist political development with Chinese characteristics, and continuously improved China's electoral system, state institutional system, grass-roots democracy, the organizational system and rules of procedure of the National People's Congress. The people's Congress system is full of new vitality. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, based on a new historical orientation, our party has deeply grasped the new changes in China's major social contradictions, actively responded to the people's new requirements and expectations for democracy and the rule of law, focused on modernizing the national governance system and governance capacity, improved the system of people's ownership, strengthened the construction of grass-roots political power, and improved the work of deputies to the National People's Congress, Historic achievements have been made in the work of the National People's Congress, and the people's Congress system has become more mature and stereotyped. Over the past 60 years, especially over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the people's Congress system has provided an important institutional guarantee for the party to lead the people to create a miracle of rapid economic development and a miracle of long-term social stability. Practice has proved that the people's Congress system is a good system that conforms to China's national conditions and reality, reflects the nature of a socialist country, ensures that the people are the masters of the country and ensures the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is a great creation in the history of human political system led by our party, It is a brand-new political system of great significance in the history of China's political development and even the history of world political development. The people's Congress system adheres to the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the basic principles of Marxist state theory, adapts to the state system of the people's democratic dictatorship, and effectively ensures that the country moves forward along the socialist road. The people's Congress system upholds that all the power of the state belongs to the people, ensures that the people are the masters of the country to the greatest extent, organically integrates the leadership of the party, the people are the masters of the country and the rule of law, and effectively ensures that national governance jumps out of the historical cycle of the rise and fall of chaos. The people's Congress system correctly handles a series of major political relations related to the future and destiny of the country, realizes national unity, efficiently organizes various undertakings, maintains national unity and national unity, and effectively ensures that the country's political life is full of vitality, stability and order. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee has coordinated the overall strategic situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great changes not seen in the world in a century. Starting from the strategic height of adhering to and improving the party's leadership and consolidating the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, it has continued to promote the theoretical and practical innovation of the people's Congress system, and put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new requirements, mainly in the following aspects. First, we must uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China. We will uphold the party's central role of taking overall responsibility and coordinating all parties, resolutely safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, ensure that the party's theories, lines, principles, policies and decisions are fully implemented and effectively implemented in national work, and support and ensure that the organs of state power are proactive, independent, responsible and coordinated in their work in accordance with the Constitution and laws. We should strengthen and improve the party's leadership, be good at making the party's propositions become the will of the state through legal procedures, be good at making the candidates recommended by the party organization become the leaders of the organs of state power through legal procedures, and be good at implementing the party's leadership over the state and society through the organs of state power, so as to safeguard the authority of the party and the state and the unity of the whole Party and the whole country. Second, we must adhere to the system to ensure that the people are the masters of the country. We should focus on the people and ensure that all state power belongs to the people. We should support and ensure that the people exercise state power through the people's Congress, improve the democratic system, enrich the forms of democracy, broaden democratic channels, ensure the people's right to equal participation and development, and develop a broader, fuller and more sound people's democracy in the whole process. Third, we must adhere to the comprehensive rule of law. Adhere to the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, build a socialist system of rule of law with Chinese characteristics, build a socialist country under the rule of law, carry forward the spirit of socialist rule of law, promote various undertakings and work of the country in accordance with the Constitution and laws, safeguard social fairness and justice, respect and protect human rights, and realize the rule of law in all work of the country. Fourth, we must uphold democratic centralism. Adhere to the unified exercise of state power by the people through the people's congresses. People's congresses at all levels are democratically elected, responsible to the people and supervised by the people; The state administrative organs, supervisory organs, judicial organs and procuratorial organs at all levels are formed by the people's congresses and are responsible to and supervised by the people's congresses; Implement a rational division of labor and mutual coordination among decision-making power, executive power and supervision power to ensure that state organs exercise their functions and duties in accordance with legal authorities and procedures; Under the unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, we should give full play to local initiative and enthusiasm to ensure that the country is unified and efficient in organizing and promoting various undertakings. Fifth, we must adhere to the political development path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The core of adhering to the organic unity of the party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country and governing the country according to law is to adhere to the party's leadership. The people's Congress system is a fundamental political institutional arrangement that adheres to the organic unity of the party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country and governing the country according to law, so as to ensure that the party leads the people to govern the country effectively according to law. We can learn from the beneficial achievements of human political civilization, but we will never copy the western political system model. Sixth, we must adhere to the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. The people's Congress system is an important part of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and an important part of the national governance system. We should uphold and improve the system of people being the masters of the country, constantly promote the institutionalization, standardization and procedure of socialist democratic politics, and better transform institutional advantages into governance efficiency. Today's world is experiencing great changes that have not been seen in a century. Institutional competition is an important aspect of the competition of comprehensive national strength, and institutional advantage is an important advantage for a country to win strategic initiative. History and reality show that a stable system means a stable country, and a strong system means a strong country. The 18th CPC National Congress and the 19th CPC National Congress made important arrangements for strengthening the people's Congress system and doing a good job in the work of the people's Congress. On the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, we must unswervingly adhere to and keep pace with the times, improve the people's Congress system, and strengthen and improve the work of the people's Congress in the new era. First, fully implement the Constitution and safeguard its authority and dignity. The ancients said, "the law is the balance of the state and the criterion of the time." The constitution is the fundamental law of the country and the concentrated embodiment of the will of the party and the people. It has the highest legal status, legal authority and legal effect. I have repeatedly stressed that safeguarding the authority of the constitution is to safeguard the authority of the common will of the party and the people; Defending the dignity of the Constitution means defending the dignity of the common will of the party and the people; To ensure the implementation of the constitution is to ensure the realization of the fundamental interests of the people. The people of all ethnic groups, all state organs and armed forces, all political parties, social organizations, enterprises and institutions must take the constitution as the fundamental criterion for their activities and have the responsibility to safeguard the dignity of the Constitution and ensure its implementation. No organization or individual shall have the privilege of transcending the Constitution and law, and all acts in violation of the Constitution and law must be investigated and corrected. To adhere to the rule of law, we must first adhere to the rule of the constitution. To adhere to the rule of law, we must first adhere to the rule of the constitution. To govern the country and govern the country in accordance with the constitution, we must unswervingly uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China as determined by the constitution, and unswervingly uphold the state system of the people's democratic dictatorship and the regime of the people's Congress system as determined by the constitution. Fully implementing the constitution is the primary task and basic work of building a socialist country under the rule of law. It is also an inevitable requirement for adhering to and improving the people's Congress system. We should take the constitution as the fundamental activity criterion, ensure the implementation of the Constitution with a scientific, effective and systematic system, strengthen constitutional supervision, carry forward the spirit of the constitution, and earnestly safeguard the authority and dignity of the constitution. The party leads the people to formulate and implement constitutional laws. The party itself must act within the scope of constitutional laws. People's congresses, governments, supervision commissions, courts and procuratorates at all levels should work actively, independently and in a coordinated manner in strict accordance with the Constitution and laws. The National People's Congress and its Standing Committee should improve the legal system related to the Constitution and ensure the full implementation of the systems, principles and rules established by the constitution; Strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of the Constitution and laws, improve the quality of constitutional review and filing review, and resolutely correct unconstitutional and illegal acts; Implement the constitutional interpretation procedure mechanism and actively respond to concerns related to constitutional issues. We should improve the legal system in which the central government exercises overall governance over the special administrative regions in accordance with the Constitution and the basic law of the special administrative regions, improve the systems and mechanisms related to the implementation of the Constitution and the basic law of the special administrative regions, and maintain the constitutional and legal order of the special administrative regions determined by the Constitution and the basic law. Local people's congresses at all levels and their standing committees should exercise their functions and powers according to law, ensure that the Constitution and laws are observed and implemented in their respective administrative regions, and consciously safeguard the unity of the rule of law in the country. Second, accelerate the improvement of the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics, promote development with good laws and ensure good governance. "If a good law is established in the world, the world will govern; if a good law is established in a country, one country will govern." Since the reform and opening up, under the leadership of the party and through the efforts of all parties, China has formed a socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics in more than 30 years, which is a great achievement in the history of human rule of law. At the same time, we should also see that the times are progressing and practice is developing, and constantly put forward new requirements for the construction of the legal system. The legal system must keep pace with the times and be improved. We should strengthen the party's centralized and unified leadership over legislative work, and improve the legislative work pattern under the leadership of the Party committee, the leadership of the people's Congress, the support of the government and the participation of all parties. We should better integrate reform and development decisions with legislative decisions, improve the rule of law through deepening reform, and
