We need to study the history, because history is not broken the experience of the incident spelled, but is "absolute spirit," the carrier profiling, but also the revival of ideological discourse and historical context, it is a presence. In the modern society, "democracy containing is the first modernism research subject."Walzer, M. says nothing but is wants to solve tolerant and the democracy problem in the modern society. In shoulders historical under the premise, how inspects tolerant and the democracy origin and the essence is a noticeable link.The early modern Britain's political new enlightenment started the theocracy politics to the common custom politics transformation, also has helped the British sovereignty formation, has laid certain foundation for democracy's formation, and indicated the direction for afterward revolution also to establish the principle and the limit. Protestantism tolerance has provided a bigger survival and the development opportunities for the common custom politics's validity and the authority. Is also precisely in this significance, tolerance continues with secularization protestantism politics for the modern politics opening.The early modern Britain's political validity no longer originates to the god gives, but is originates from parliament's legislation. Although the religion has played the strong character in the political life, but already started to desalinate. Protestantism politics is in itself forgives take the religion as the principle, therefore while to forgive which struggles, is also realizing tolerantly positively. After Honorable Revolution, to the Catholicism principle king's intolerance which defeats, causes Britain's regime to become the mix regime, has realized the republican democracy. The monarchial power god gives for the monarchial power people gives substitutes, the king and the parliament transform for the king in the parliament.The democratic legal jurisdiction foundation is the people's sovereignty, the modern democracy biggest characteristic is gives the monarchial power god transforms into authority all the people all, the monarchial power people gives. Who are the modern Britain's people? King, aristocrat and common people (man of property) sum total. The modern Britain's democracy is the crowned head, Upper House (aristocrat) with Low House (common people) three unifications, namely mix system, republican politics. When a political community might forgive and accommodation once opposition faction, the democracy only then could be a democracy. Because will be intolerant will only cause a more intense struggle, in that kind of animal politics, the human has lost the rationality and the freedom, democratic foundation, process and structure then total loss.It is absolutely necessary that limit the eligibility of people involved in the conduct of public affairs. Limited to the people is an important component of the constitutional government. How to control the parliament ? If this can keep in balance through the decentralization controls, then how to controlthe people the origin of the highest organ of state power's authority? This is actually the constitutional government, the decentralization keeps in balance the most essential place, is also the final difficult problem.The early modern Britain's people's sovereignty is not the ancient Greece pure democracy system, but is the indirect democratic system, namely parliamentary democratic system. Only struggles cannot form the democracy, because struggles is unable to take the construction principle. In the order party politics has not presented the British civil war (war of religion) the life and death frigid struggle. What this kind and is the ancient times politics different modern times democracy's connotation also? That is tolerant. But the tolerant behind is the freedom, the rationality, the morals, the law and the community realizes. The freedom and the rationality need religious tolerant realization, but the religion forgives is in itself also the freedom and the rational performance. Only then implements the religious tolerant restructuring politics order only then possibly to give the human to be free. The rationality has become the treatment frantic and ignorant, realizes the order and the free safeguard.Tolerance is the idea and system's unification, it both belongs to the morals, and belongs to the law. Has intrinsic moral tolerantly, but tolerant is not unprincipled, without limits making concessions, it also has certain boundary, this boundary already contains has belongs to the moral agent boundary, also contains has belongs to the external legal rules boundary. The community realizes is maintaining a nation-state existence, also the protect guard nation-state is moving toward the republican democracy. In a political community, the true community realizes needs each other's forgiving with the respect, both the rationality and the tolerant system guaranteed theoretically majority principle validity at the same time have also restrained most people's will, has prevented most people's tyranny, also grasped for the small number of people have reserved the space for the small number of people as well as the truth preservation which.The great politics is inevitably tolerant, politics not only needs the rationality to establish the right and wrong standard and the order, also needs the rational approval to forgive contains in community's dissidents, the minority, even mistake. The political community not only needs the internal the intolerance, also needs to realize the exterior intolerance.Humanity's greatest flaw does lies in approaching crazily and defends stubbornly unprincipled after has not reconsidered limited. How to have become a key question with his unification, moreover, only then based on this, tolerance is possible. The philosophers create the philosophy system to lay the foundation diligently truly with he unification, since has the intrinsic relatedness with him, the opposition may change the unification, then may also transform in the experience world, had found the unified foundation with him, tolerant is possible.Politics cannot be avoided, and politics will involve other people, then politics intrinsic requests the community realization. How in the political field territory with he intrinsic union, as well as how will process other people even opposite will be a basic question. Not only politics is tolerant constructs and is maintaining the political community's internal order, can also construct between the political community the republican order. Only then through tolerant, but the non-force has realized politics with he true unification, only then possibly constructs a democratic political community. In the modern society, politics must have tolerant, because politics tolerant is one political morals, it from rational order, is also the modern government by law essential content, is the entire humanity's free safeguard.
