Features: This book includes the author's recent reading notes and reviews on constitutional issues. These articles aim to transcend the perspective of law and restore the classical constitutional view in the Aristotelian sense. They not only attempt to bring political issues, particularly the issue of sovereignty, into the consideration of constitutional issues but also try to include personal ethical issues within the scope of constitutionalism. By doing so, they integrate personal ethics, legal techniques, and the fate of political communities, thereby showcasing the overall picture of constitutionalism as a way of life. This book, along with the author's previously published The City of Legal People and the upcoming The Theory of Legislation, outlines the basic trajectory and thought process of the author's reflections on constitutional issues in China.
