……能随时响应公民不断变化的需求和处境，且能在地方层面顾及各地差异等等。*** 在我看来，马基雅维利的《李维史论》、孟德斯鸠的《论法的精神》、托克维尔的《论美国的民主》以及麦迪逊/汉密尔顿/杰斐逊的《联邦党人文集》对“为什么会这样”做出了最好的阐述（要是你心气够大，还可以读读洛克、卢梭、霍布斯等人）。其中的复杂性在于……
…changing needs and circumstances of its citizens and responsive at a local level to local differences, etc. * * * The why is in my opinion best described in Machiavelli’s Discourses on Livy, Montesquieu’s Spirit of the Laws, Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, and Madison/Hamilton/Jefferson’s Federalist Papers (and you might look at Locke, Rousseau, Hobbes, etc. too if you’re feeling extra ambitious). The complexities are…
……政府在实际中如何运作，而非理想化的样子，这是理解宪政治理及其实践的基础。读霍布斯以及孟德斯鸠，尤其是《The spirit of the laws》，应该能消除对安全剧场（security theater）的贬义看法。而且，除非你有特殊洞察力，否则你无法确定地说什么被阻止了。因此，任何关于“真实目的”的猜测……
…government works in practice as opposed to as an idealism, which is the foundation for understanding constitutional governance and it's practices. Reading Hobbes as well as Montesquieu, particularly the Spirit of Laws should dispel the notion of security theater in a pejorative sense. Also, unless you have some special insight, you cannot for sure say what has been prevented. Therefore any speculation on "true purposes"…
虽然不算完全对题，但要想进一步理解那种“爱与敬畏/恐惧”的动态博弈，我建议去读读孟德斯鸠的《论法的精神》。他分析了不同的政体形式（民主制、贵族制、君主制和专制政体）及其精神支柱。对于民主制来说，是美德。对于君主制，是荣誉。而对于专制政体，则是……
Not wholly on topic, but for some added depth to that "love or fear" dynamic, I suggest reading Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Laws." He analyzes different forms of government (democracy, aristocracy, monarchy, and despotism) and their animating principles. For democracy, it's virtue. For monarchy, it's honor. For despotism, it's…
……本身就很有用！柏拉图：《理想国》；亚里士多德：《尼各马可伦理学》和《政治学》；托马斯·霍布斯：《利维坦》；约翰·洛克：《政府论》；卢梭：《社会契约论》；孟德斯鸠：《论法的精神》；托克维尔：《论美国的民主》；卡尔·马克思：《共产党宣言》和《资本论》；J·S·密尔：《论自由》（功利主义启蒙运动的经典之作）；约翰·罗尔斯：《正义论》（一部极其重要的……

“三权分立”（Checks and Balances）这个概念最早由孟德斯鸠在他的专著《论法的精神》中提出，他在书中将其阐释为“彼此之间具有内在张力、势均力敌的制衡力量”。问题在于，尽管开国元勋们几乎对其顶礼膜拜……
The idea of "Checks and Balances" was coined by Montesquieu in his "The Spirit of the Laws" treatise, where it is justified as "balanced forces of equal leverage amongst one another having an embedded tension against each other". The problem is, despite the Founding Fathers' near-fetishization…
……（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition#Democratic）：> 民主与抽签制挂钩的理念在18世纪依然十分普及。夏尔·德·第二代，孟德斯鸠男爵在《论法的精神》中写道：“用抽签来决定选举是民主政治的本质；用选择来决定选举是贵族政治的本质。”
…(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition#Democratic): > The idea that democracy is associated with sortition remained common in the 18th century. Charles de Secondat, baron de Montesquieu writes in The Spirit of the Laws, "The suffrage by lot is natural to democracy, as that by choice is to aristocracy."
