本課程從下述角度比較各國憲政制度運作異同。首先，每個國家有它獨特歷史背景，必須因應不同類型危機，以及在各種政治勢力之間尋求平衡點。某種程度上，立憲者原意和憲政慣例可以彌補憲法條文未盡之處。其次，政治制度規範行政和立法互動，內閣制，總統制和雙首長制頗有差異。再者，政黨與選舉是民主政治重要環節。在選舉方面，下述問題值得注意。第一是必須符合多數決定（majority rule）原則，所謂多數是「制度性多數」。第二，票票等值概念應當儘可能得到落實。This course compares the different political systems of various countries from the following perspectives. First, each country has its own unique historical background, which must be balanced due to different types of crises and various political forces. To a certain extent, the original intention of the founder and the political conditions can be used to compensate for the law without expiration. Secondly, there are differences between the political system and the administration and legislation, internal system, general system and dual-head system. Furthermore, political parties and choices should be important aspects of democratic politics. In terms of selection, the following questions are worth noting. The first is that it must comply with the principle of majority rule, and the so-called majority is an "institutional majority". Second, the concept of vote-equivalent value should be implemented as much as possible.
