憲法乃國家根本大法，除保障基本人權的部份外，即是規範國家權力分配與運作方式。一般而言，民主國家在政府體制選擇上，不外以「總統制」、「內閣制」、「雙首長制」（半總統制）或「委員制」為典範，並配合國情調整實施。然而，我國民主轉型雖是伴隨著修憲所完成，但迄今針對我國究竟屬於何種政府體制？應如何有效解決憲政問題？卻依然難有定見。基此，本課程在上學期的課程將透過比較的視野，以政府體制為探討主軸，經由憲政理論與制度的介紹，輔以國與國間政府體制之比較(主要是英國、美國、法國、日本、德國)，除希望學習者能建立更宏觀的憲政知識及視野，更期待培養學生對我國憲法規範及運作的關懷，一同為我國憲政體制把脈，指引未來憲政發展更正確的方向。而在此基礎上，下學期的課程深入我國憲法的條文內容始有更精準認識。The Constitution is the fundamental law of the country. In addition to protecting basic human rights, it also regulates the distribution and operation of state power. Generally speaking, democratic countries only use "presidential system", "cabinet system", "dual-head system" (semi-presidential system) or "commissioner system" as models when choosing a government system, and adjust and implement it according to national conditions. However, although our country's democratic transformation was completed with the amendment of the constitution, what kind of government system does our country have so far? How to effectively solve constitutional issues? But it's still hard to come up with an opinion. Based on this, the course in the first semester of this course will take the government system as the main axis of discussion through a comparative perspective. Through the introduction of constitutional theory and system, it will be supplemented by the comparison of government systems between countries (mainly the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Japan, Germany), in addition to hoping that learners can establish a broader knowledge and perspective on constitutional government, they also hope to cultivate students' concern for the norms and operations of our country's constitution, and together they can take the pulse of our country's constitutional system and guide the future development of constitutional government in a more correct direction. On this basis, the next semester's course will delve deeper into the provisions of our country's constitution to gain a more accurate understanding.
