Features: This book is a specialized study on civil rights and the constitutional process. It does not confine itself to exploring the legal theory of rights or conducting research from the general perspective of universal human rights. Instead, it follows the development of China's unique civil rights theory and practice, combined with the constitutional trajectory, dividing the theory and practice of civil rights into five parts: the precursors of civil rights, the struggle for civil rights, the dawn of freedom, the establishment and vacillation of civil rights, and the rational development of civil rights. It focuses on the organization and integration of major constitutional events and theories in Chinese history that sought to win and protect civil rights, employing multidisciplinary research methods such as historical, legal, and sociological approaches to analyze and explore the unique path of civil rights theory and practice in China.
