總體分析
本文介紹了羅馬人有關(guān)國家建設(shè)的理論。第一句指出羅馬人有關(guān)國家形成的理論很有特點。第二句至第五句指出,羅馬人的理論與希臘人的大不相同,是非常具體的。第六句至文章結(jié)尾具體闡述了羅馬人關(guān)于國家權(quán)力的所有和分配形式。
全文翻譯
奧古斯都(羅馬帝國第一代皇帝)的成功很大程度上歸功于羅馬人將國家理論化的特點。羅馬人沒有制定出讓希臘人感興趣的建設(shè)理想國家的宏偉藍圖。在柏拉圖的《理想國》中不涉及具體個人或國家的一種個人與國家之間的關(guān)系被詳細地設(shè)計出來,但羅馬理論家們幾乎無一例外地忽視或拒絕接受像《理想國》這樣的智力訓(xùn)練,認為它們毫無價值。羅馬人最接近希臘模式的是西塞羅的《論國家》,甚至在這本書中西塞羅的心中已經(jīng)對羅馬有了非常清楚的想法。即使涉及到宗教和道德概念,羅馬人關(guān)于國家的想法也是具體的。羅馬的第一位統(tǒng)治者羅穆盧斯被認為從神,尤其是從羅馬的守護神宙斯那里獲得了權(quán)力。所有憲法的發(fā)展都是一種賦予和監(jiān)督這種權(quán)力的方法。很顯然,人們相信只有先父們的立法機構(gòu),即一家之主們組成的最初的參議院,才擁有行使這種權(quán)力所必需的'宗教特質(zhì),因為它最初的功能是尋求神的啟示。既實際又排外的參議員們將權(quán)力再進一步分割,認為他們的司法官或總管官員,將每隔一個月?lián)碛羞@項權(quán)力,并在之后將其擁有權(quán)擴大到更低等級的官員。但是重要的成就是創(chuàng)造了持續(xù)的國家權(quán)力的概念,這種權(quán)力只是臨時體現(xiàn)在某些上層階級的個人身上,并且只有當普通大眾一致同意的時候才被賦予。當新的部門和立法機構(gòu)被創(chuàng)造出來并且?guī)缀鯖]有任何一個被擯棄的時候,這個系統(tǒng)變得越來越復(fù)雜。
