摘要

《中華民國憲法》是1946年在南京制定，由國民黨政府帶來台灣實行的。本文以作者的專業學識，佐以其他學者的觀點來闡述台灣制憲的必要性。首先，它的制定並沒有台灣代表的參與，它的領土範圍也未包括台灣，因此，它在台灣實行並無正當性和合法性，必然產生許多憲法適用的問題。此外，它在政府體制的設計上也有許多憲政學理上的誤謬和矛盾，歷經《動員戡亂時期臨時條款》和七次的修憲都不能匡正這些問題，也不能建立台灣是主權獨立國家的憲政體制。此外，《中華民國憲法》也會危害台灣的安全並妨害台灣的國際地位。基於這些理由，制定一部以台灣為主體的新憲法有其必要性。

The Constitution of the Republic of China was made in Nanking, China in 1946 and brought to Taiwan by the Kuomintang Government soon thereafter. In this essay, the author argues on the basis of his knowledge and other scholars' views that it is necessary for Taiwan to make a new constitution. First of all, the drafting process lacked the participation of Taiwan, and the Constitution's territory does not include Taiwan. Therefore, its implementation in Taiwan lacks legitimacy and creates many constitutional problems. There are also many fundamental flaws and contradictions in the design of the governmental system. The Temporary Provisions during the Period of Mobilization against Communist Rebellion and seven rounds of amendments so far have not been able to rectify these problems nor establish a normal constitutional order in Taiwan as a sovereign country. Furthermore, the Constitution imperils Taiwan's national security and hampers Taiwan's international status. For these reasons, it is necessary to make a new constitution of Taiwan, for Taiwan, and by the people of Taiwan.
