Features: This book takes the construction of a rule-of-law government as the theme of an important issue in contemporary Chinese constitutional development. It regards people-centeredness as the value philosophy and spiritual foundation of a rule-of-law government, and focuses on discussing what a rule-of-law government is, why it needs to be constructed, and how it should be constructed. The book first discusses the general theories of a rule-of-law government and people-centeredness separately. Then, from the perspective of people-centeredness, it studies key issues in the construction of a rule-of-law government, such as comprehensively promoting the administration according to law, further transforming government functions, and optimizing government decision-making. Finally, it combines people-centeredness with government responsibility to analyze the active and passive responsibilities that the government should undertake.
