[Guide to this chapter]

Through studying, we should correctly understand the connotation of the party’s constitution and fully understand the important role of the party’s constitution in regulating party thoughts and actions. In particular, through a preliminary grasp of the basic contents of the Constitution of the Communist Party of China, the consciousness of studying, implementing, observing, and maintaining the party constitution will be enhanced.

[Key points of this chapter]

The constitution of a political party is the general term for various rules, regulations, and rules of a political party. As the saying goes: State-owned and national laws have family rules. Each political party has its own charter, and its charter regulates and restricts the behavior of all members of the party. According to the basic requirements of the party program, the Party Constitution of the Communist Party of China specifies the conditions for joining the party, the standards for party members, the duties and rights of party members, the procedures for joining the party, the party’s organizational system, and the party’s cadres and party discipline. Each party member must strictly abide by the provisions of the party constitution, and must not violate or violate the rules, otherwise, they will not be able to become a qualified party member.

The connotation of party constitution

The so-called party charter is a charter formulated by a political party to ensure the political and ideological unity of the whole party and the unity of organization and action. It is the most basic code of conduct within a party, and it is the political attitude and organizational form of a party. The concentrated expression of the political party is an indispensable part of a complete party organization. The party charter is the fundamental law of a political party, a program for unifying the entire party’s actions, a powerful weapon for strengthening party building, and a norm for the actions of party organizations at all levels and all party members.

The Constitution of the Communist Party of China is the fundamental law of the Communist Party of China. Its content includes the party’s political program, organizational program, and regulations on basic issues such as the party’s organizational system and methods of activity. It is a comprehensive guidance document for party building and the highest law for party life. The main content of the Constitution of the Communist Party of China includes the nature of the party, guiding ideology, program tasks, organizational structure, organizational system, party membership requirements, rights, obligations, and discipline. In our country, the Constitution of the Communist Party of China is generally referred to as the “Party Constitution.”

What are the basic characteristics of a party charter? There are three main ones:

First, the party charter is reviewed and approved by the party’s national congress, which embodies the will and interests of the whole party, and therefore has the greatest effect and authority.

The second is that political parties are organized in accordance with a certain program and charter, which is the common norm and program of action for all members of the political party. An organization without a charter is just a mess, just a group without cohesion. Since the party’s constitution will be constantly revised in accordance with changes in the situation, the party’s constitution is a basic basis for party building and party activities between the two party national congresses.

Third, the party charter is binding on all party organizations and all party members. It is the fundamental law of the party and the highest law within the party. All party members, regardless of their position, must abide by it. To paraphrase, everyone (each party member) is equal before the party constitution.

The party charter is the foundation of the party. “If you don’t follow the rules, you can’t make a circle.” Chinese Communists have always attached importance to the status and role of the party constitution. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said: “The country must have a state law, and the party must have a party regulation and party law. The party constitution is the most fundamental party regulation and party law. Without the party regulation and the party law, the state law is difficult to guarantee. “This is a summary of the pros and cons of our party’s decades of governance, and is a major contribution to Marxist party theory.
