The Covenant Law of the Republic of China, also known as the New Testament Law, is commonly known as the Yuanji Covenant Law, with a total of 10 chapters and 68 articles. 1 965438+May 20041day, Yuan Shikai officially announced that the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China was abolished at the same time. It's Yuan Shikai's, not the people's, and the people all over the country have always denied it. It is Yuan Shikai's dictatorship, not people's democracy and freedom. It adopts extreme totalitarianism, completely negates the spirit of democracy and runs through the feudal autocratic imperial power thought. Its reactionary nature can be seen from the following points: First, it deprives people of their freedom and rights. After the founding of the Republic of China, the Three People's Principles were widely spread and the spirit of democracy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In view of this, the Constitution of the Republic of China also stipulates in Chapter I that the Republic of China is organized by the people of China, and the sovereignty of the Republic of China belongs to all the people. However, before people enjoyed their freedom rights, they were all restricted by laws, which were formulated and promulgated by Yuan. Whether the people have democracy and freedom is the freedom that Yuan has the final say. The second chapter stipulates that the people enjoy freedom of speech, association and publication, as well as the rights of petition, election and being elected, but the freedom and rights of the people Americans are actually completely deprived. Second, the principle of cabinet system in the Constitution of the Republic of China has been revised, and the president is the sole ruler. It is stipulated that the Republic of China will implement the cabinet system, which is characterized by the cabinet exercising state power, the president being not actually responsible, and the cabinet being responsible to the National Assembly. Therefore, the interim constitution revised the principle of cabinet system, stipulating that the Chief Executive is the President and the Secretary of State should praise him. The president should be the head of the country, take over sovereignty and be responsible to all the people. This law abolished the effective control of the president, placed the president above all government agencies, and stipulated that the president was not responsible for any public opinion organization. As the head of state, the president has the right to represent all the people. Therefore, the president is actually only responsible for himself. He can steal in the name of people and do whatever he wants. The law also has provisions restricting the president's power, but it has no practical significance. Chapter III Article 17 stipulates: The President shall convene the Legislative Yuan to announce the meeting, recess and adjournment; As long as the Senate agrees, it has the power to dissolve the Legislative Yuan. However, members of the Senate are appointed by the President and can be replaced at any time. So the president can dissolve the Legislative Yuan at any time. The Contract Law also removes all the power of the Temporary Contract Law to restrict the contents of the president, thus enabling Yuan and the United States to succeed in monopolizing power. Third, the president monopolized the constitutional power. The law provides for the establishment of a Senate, and the participation in politics is appointed by the President. The function of the Senate is to consider important government affairs according to the president's proposal; Power is the right to deny laws decided by opposing courts and the draft constitution. Article 59 of Chapter 9 of the Law stipulates that the Constitution Drafting Committee shall be composed of members elected by political and administrative organs, and the number of members shall not exceed 10. After the draft constitution is promulgated, it will be examined and approved by the Senate, and then submitted by the President to the National Assembly for decision. The National Assembly is convened and dissolved by the President. Therefore, Yuan held the right to make a constitution in his own hands. Fourth, the parliament of the Republic of China exists in name only. Chapter IV of the Law provides for the establishment of the Legislative Yuan, namely the Parliament of the Republic of China. The Legislative Yuan is elected by the people of all provinces and has 275 members. Its functions and powers are to decide laws and budgets, answer the president's suggestions and accept people's petitions. When the president is found to have a plot, more than four-fifths of all members of the Legislative Yuan are present, and more than three-fourths of the members present agree to impeach the president. The court of Dali will accept the lawsuit, but whether the court of Dali accepts the lawsuit is decided by the president. Therefore, the impeachment power of the Legislative Yuan is nominal. Members of the Legislative Yuan are nominally elected by the people.

For the vast majority of people in China at that time, these conditions did not exist. So the so-called universal suffrage is actually a dead letter. However, even such a so-called elected body with strict restrictions on voters, Yuan Shikai was afraid that it would get in the way and never set up it. On the contrary, the Senate acted as its authority. As can be seen from the above, in order to meet the needs of Yuan Shikai, the Constitution of the Republic of China has made great efforts to suppress the civil rights dictatorship in the United States. Yuan Shikai's act of tearing up the Temporary Contract Law, which he swore to abide by in the United States, aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people of China. Many people write articles criticizing that the organic law of the Legislative Yuan is a fake name of presidential politics, but it is a dictatorship. This is a big reaction after the innovation. Yuan Shikai dared to express such opinions, which also showed the dissatisfaction of China people.
