Today, 124 years ago, on June 7, 1901 (April 21, 1901 in the lunar calendar), Liang Qichao's "Constitutional Proposal" was published. On June 7, 1901, "Qing Yibao" published an article by Liang Qichao entitled "Constitutional Proposal". Liang Qichao put forward the idea of "preparatory constitutionalism" here for the first time. In his article, he divided the political systems in the world into three types: autocratic monarchy, constitutional monarchy and * constitutional regime. He believes that: * 's constitutional regime has changed too many policy principles, and the competition in electing the president is too fierce, which is not good for the country; In the autocratic monarchy, there is a sharp opposition between the monarch and the people, the people are extremely suffering, and the monarch and ministers are also extremely dangerous; Only "the constitutional monarchy is the best regime". However, Liang Qichao also said that according to China's current conditions, especially according to the current level of the people, it is not yet qualified to implement a constitutional monarchy, and can only engage in preparatory constitutionalism. He said: "Those who have a constitutional regime can do it after they are a little more intelligent. Japan's reform took place in the early Meiji period, and the constitution was implemented 20 years later, which is also evidenced. It will take ten or fifteen years at the fastest before China can speak of this. " Liang Qichao also made a supplementary explanation in this article on how to prepare for constitutionalism. Since then, the main slogans of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's political activities have changed from "respecting the emperor" and "suppressing bandits and serving the king" to striving for "preparatory constitutionalism", which has been used as the main program against the bourgeois revolutionaries.
