Research On The Building Of Legal System In Chuan-Shan Revolutionary Base In 1930s

Chuan-Shan Revolutionary Base was established by the Fourth Front Army of China and those people in the Sichuan-Shanxi border area under the leadership of the Communist Party of China during the Second Revolutionary Civil War, and it was the second largest important base for the Chinese Soviet Republic. During the two years of its short existence, it carried out a comprehensive building of the legal system, which leads to great achievements; and the experiences and lessons from which process still give us positive instructions today.On the principle of consolidating revolutionary power, adhering to the leadership of the Communist Party, and ensuring people's democracy, government in the Base enacted series of laws concerning aspects like the organs of political power, human rights, land ownership, finance and economy, labor and criminal case, and so on, in accordance with social circumstance in the Base. In the meanwhile, great achievements had been made in law enforcement and judicature there.Nevertheless, the carry-out and enforcement of law unavoidably met barriers due to the crucial war background in base area, the leftist political opinions and the lacking of legal knowledge among cadres and civilians. Therefore, the development of law was still immature. However, it is worthwhile to summarize, for there are harsh lessons in the development of legal system in Chuan-Shan Revolutionary Base. It will be of great significance for building socialism legal system with Chinese characteristics to study the legal system in Chuan-Shan Revolutionary Base, to help on this project and to learn from Chinese revolutionary experiences of legal construction.
