Features: The report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China points out: "Advancing political system reform, developing democracy, improving the legal system, governing the country according to law, building a socialist rule of law country, and ensuring the people's right to be masters of the country. This textbook has the following three characteristics: First, scientificity and ideological nature. The textbook is compiled strictly according to the requirements of the 'Teaching Syllabus for Legal Basic Courses' formulated by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Justice. Whether in terms of system structure or content and viewpoints, it well embodies the spirit of the syllabus, reflecting the purpose and goal of cultivating and improving college students' legal awareness, legal concept, and moral quality. Second, realism and novelty. New content has been added on the theories and ideas of the Party's 16th National Congress, such as the "Three Represents" important thought, "governing the country according to law," and "governing the country with virtue," reflecting the content of newly promulgated laws and regulations. Third, innovation and practicality. Some exploration and innovation have been made in teaching content and methods. Three items—reading materials, homework exercises, and discussion questions—have been designed in the after-class section, consciously guiding students to self-study, inspiring them to think independently, deepening their understanding of basic legal knowledge, and improving their practical ability and quality in applying legal knowledge."
