Subsequent party congresses made some changes to party constitution. 1923, the third congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) passed the first amendment to the Constitution of the Communist Party of China, which increased the number of party introducers from 1 person to two, and stipulated the waiting period for joining the party for the first time. 1925, the fourth congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) passed the second amendment to the Constitution of the Communist Party of China, which stipulated that the grass-roots units of the party should be branches, and made it clear that "where there are more than three party member, branches should be set up"; Change the name of "Chairman" of the Central Executive Committee of the Party to "General Secretary" and the name of "Chairman" of the Executive Committees at all levels to "Secretary". The titles of "General Secretary" and "Secretary" were also adopted by party constitution later. 1927 after the fifth national congress of the communist party of China, the meeting of the political bureau of the communist party of China adopted the resolution of the third amendment to Constitution of the Communist Party of China, which greatly revised the original party constitution in terms of content and style. One of the most important changes is that party constitution clearly put forward the party's organizational principle as democratic centralism. 1928 The Fourth Revision of the Articles of Association of the China * * * Production Party adopted by the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China stipulated three principles of adhering to democratic centralism. Because the sixth congress was held in Moscow, the party constitution adopted this time was greatly influenced by * * * Production International, which stipulated that China * * * Production Party was a branch of * * * Production International, and it should unconditionally implement the resolutions of * * * Production International. The formation of this party constitution shows that China's * * * production party was facing a severe domestic revolutionary situation and greater international environmental pressure. During the period from the Third Party Congress to the Sixth Party Congress, faced with the complicated domestic revolutionary situation and the international production movement situation, the China * * Production Party, which is still in its infancy, frequently revised party constitution and made relatively many changes. Party constitution's revision reflects the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s exploration and progress in self-construction and China's revolutionary road.
1945 party constitution, which was adopted by the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, was independently formulated by the * * * Production Party of China, and it has a milestone significance in the history of the China Party. This party constitution stipulates: "China's * * * production party takes Mao Zedong Thought, which combines Marxism–Leninism's theory with China's revolutionary practice, as its guiding principle in all its work". Party constitution wrote Mao Zedong Thought into party constitution for the first time and established its guiding position in the whole party. At the same time, this party constitution also appeared for the first time, which stipulated party member's obligations and rights for the first time and made a scientific expression of democratic centralism for the first time. It can be said that party constitution formulated by the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China was the most complete party constitution of China's * * * production party during the democratic revolution, which marked the overall progress of the party in its own political construction, ideological construction and theoretical construction, and also showed the development and innovation of China's * * production party to Marxism. It is because of the correctness and progress of this party constitution that it has existed for 1 1 year and has not been modified.
After the founding of New China, 1956, the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China formulated the first party constitution after the China * * * Production Party became the ruling party. This party constitution embodies the characteristics of the ruling party of China's * * * production party at that time: it puts forward the tasks of the party in the period of building socialism in an all-round way and the goal of realizing modernization; Emphasize opposing bureaucracy and promoting inner-party democracy; Emphasis on improving collective leadership and opposing personality cult; Emphasize maintaining and consolidating the unity of the party. More importantly, party constitution stipulated that the fundamental purpose of all the Party's work is to meet the people's material and cultural needs to the maximum extent. This shows that after leading the people of China to complete the democratic revolution, the Communist Party of China keeps pace with the times and puts forward the goal of leading the people of the whole country to carry out socialist construction and meet people's needs. This party constitution fully embodies the shift of work focus in the process of China's * * * production party's transition from the revolutionary period to the construction period. It is a summary of the party building experience of China's * * * production party in the past seven years, and further points out the direction for the construction of the ruling party.
However, the "Cultural Revolution" seriously affected and destroyed Party building. Party constitution, adopted by the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, emphasized "the theory of continuing revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat", emphasized class struggle as the key link, and denied the fundamental task of socialist modernization; It is wrong and unscientific to discuss the nature, guiding ideology and fundamental task of the Party. China's party constitution, which was adopted by the 10th National Congress, continued the mistakes of the 9th National Congress of party constitution. For these two party constitution, Deng Xiaoping once commented that they are "actually not quite like party constitution". Shortly after the end of the Cultural Revolution, the 11th National Congress of the Communist Party of China formulated the new party constitution in 1977. This party constitution did not systematically correct the mistakes of the "Cultural Revolution", but followed the formulation of "continuing the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat". But this time, party constitution put forward the task of "building a powerful socialist country with modernization of agriculture, industry, national defense and science and technology", which is an exploratory attempt for future efforts.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China brought order out of chaos, great progress has been made in Party building, and party constitution's construction has also returned to the right track. 1982, the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China re-enacted another landmark party constitution. This party constitution inherited the advantages of the Seventh National Congress and the Eighth National Congress of party constitution, restored the party's working-class attributes, stipulated that Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought were the party's guiding ideology, clarified the main contradictions and general tasks of the party at this stage, and comprehensively and correctly answered the goals, ways and methods of the construction of the ruling party during the reform and opening up period. This party constitution is the party constitution of China's * * * production party that keeps pace with the times in the new period, and it has also become the blueprint of party constitution's revision at present. 1987 The 13th National Congress of communist party, China adopted some amendments to the Articles of Association of the Producers' Party of China, which reflected the spirit of paying more attention to inner-party democracy. Party constitution stipulates that the list of candidates for Party congresses and committees at all levels should be elected by difference. It is stipulated that party organizations should vote on important issues for discussion and decision; Increased the authority of the party's national congress. Party constitution, adopted by the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), emphasized Deng Xiaoping's exposition on the essence of socialism. Party constitution wrote Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory, the Party's basic line and various principles and policies into party constitution for the first time. Party constitution, from the 12th National Congress to the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, fully demonstrated the changes that China's * * * production party shifted its focus to reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and demonstrated the historical process that China's * * * production party led the people throughout the country to promote reform and opening up.
Party constitution was appropriately revised from the 15th to 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which reflected the continuous progress of the Party's theoretical construction with the promotion of reform, opening up and socialist modernization. 1997 The general program of party constitution adopted by the 15th National Congress of communist party, China stipulates: "China's * * * Production Party takes Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory as its own action guide." As the party's guiding ideology, Deng Xiaoping Theory was written into party constitution, and the principle of "emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts" was also written into party constitution. In 2002, the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China adopted the party constitution with three important amendments. First, establish "Theory of Three Represents" as the Party's guiding ideology. Second, on the issue of the nature of the party, it has changed from "one vanguard" to "two vanguard". In terms of who can join the party, advanced elements from other social classes have been added. Third, the chapter "party emblem and party flag" was added. The most important significance of revising party constitution is to expand the mass base of the Party and make the Communist Party of China (CPC) the vanguard of the working class in China and the vanguard of the Chinese nation. The party constitution adopted by The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2007 embodies the spirit of keeping pace with the times. In this party constitution, there are more expositions about Socialism with Chinese characteristics's road and theoretical system, the overall layout of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause and the construction of a harmonious socialist society. The content of the party's organizational system and working system has been increased. Party constitution, adopted by The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 20 12, defined and expounded Scientific Outlook on Development, and wrote Scientific Outlook on Development, Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents as the guiding ideology of the Party in party constitution. This party constitution has also incorporated the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause, enriching the content of the overall requirements for Party building. Party constitution, who was revised from the 15th National Congress to the 18th National Congress, showed the strength of China's * * * production party in developing Marxism and promoting theoretical innovation in its own construction.
In the past 90 years, the formulation and development of party constitution has demonstrated the historical activities of China's * * * production party leading the people to complete the new-democratic revolution, socialist revolution and construction and promote reform and opening up; It also shows the historical process of China's * * * Production Party's continuous promotion of Marxism China and theoretical innovation in the process of leading China's revolution and construction. The history of party constitution's birth and development is the epitome and display of the development of China's * * * production party. Studying party constitution from the historical dimension is an important part of our comprehensive understanding of the history of China's * * * production party. It is the duty of every Chinese Communist party member to learn from party constitution and abide by party constitution.
