The Struggle And Realization Of Women’s Election Rights In The Period Of The Constitutional State

In 1947,the Nanjing government issued the "Regulations on the National Assembly Election and Removal Law" for the preparation of the Constitutional National Convention.For the first time,the number of women elected was separately stipulated,and the number of women’s groups was clearly specified to be no less than one hundred and sixty-eight.There are no fewer than 96 women representatives in the committee,and women’s groups and professional groups have the qualification to elect election representatives.As the first strictly female election activity in Chinese history,the election campaign for women in the Constitutional National Congress has certain breakthroughs and limitations.Election propaganda,voter education,election quota allocation,and election regulations are all different from male election activities..On the basis of extensive collection of information and literature,this paper sorts out the women’s election activities during the period of the Constitutional National Congress and tries to reflect the particularity and importance of women’s election campaigns during this period.It is hoped that this will show the process of modern Chinese women’s struggle for election rights,and from the perspective of women’s elections,it reveals part of the reason why the election campaign of the National Constitution has failed to achieve the expected results.This paper is divided into three main parts,which discuss the struggle for and realization of women’s electoral rights in the period of constitutional state:The first part introduces the background of women’s election activities during the period of the Constitution.In the late Qing Dynasty,the provincial and governmental districts were elected,and the Beijing government of the Republic of China implemented congressional elections,but did not give women equal rights to vote and be elected.With the popularization of Western advanced ideas,women’s awareness of equality is strong,and open-minded women’s politicians have taken to the streets to call for equality and to declare equality in gender equality.The primary pursuit of these people is to allow women to participate in politics,and female representatives in Congress have a certain proportion.From the exclusion of the early years of the Republic of China to the National Representative Conference and the National Political Participation Conference held in the 1930 s,women’s periodicals have been set up to report women’s elections,and then to the Constitutional National Convention.During the National Political Participation Conference,women were allowed to be appointed to participate in meetings with a small number of places,which laid the foundation for women’s struggle for election rights during the constitutional period.The second part introduces the election of women’s groups during the period of the Constitution.It can be seen from the distribution of election quotas that the election of women’s groups is a major component of women’s elections during the constitutional period.During the National Convention of the Constitution,women’s elections were controlled by the Women’s Electoral Office under the National Electoral Office,organized the Election Committee,handled various election issues,and published the Women’s Elections to help women’s electors and The electors can quickly and easily accept the latest information on the election.The interpretation of the election regulations in the "Women’s Elections" helps women groups to quickly understand the elections and actively participate in the elections.Through the analysis of the election process,the general situation of women’s elections during the constitutional period can be clearly reduced.The third part introduces the regional women’s election activities and the election of women’s legislators during the period of the Constitution.Women’s elections during the period of the Constitutional National Congress are divided into two levels: central and local.The provincial,municipal or district elections are mainly responsible for conveying news,registering rosters,calculating bills of exchange,and all election results must be reported to professional groups.And the women’s group election office reported the case.The election of the legislators was delayed by one month from the election of the NUS deputies,and the election process was consistent with the election process of the NUS deputies.Women’s election campaigns carry out elections under the principle of “general,equal,direct,secret ballot”.Therefore,whether it is the election of professional groups and women’s groups or the election of women’s legislators,many women voters are attracted,and women’s election activities can be carried out normally.This article examines and sorts out the process of seeking and realizing the right to vote in modern Chinese women.It believes that through the struggle and struggle of women,the issue of women’s right to vote has gradually gained attention and been realized.During the National Convention of the Nanjing National Government,it was stipulated that women’s groups should be elected separately,and women’s quotas should be specified in the elections of regional,professional,national,and legislative and supervisory committee members to ensure that women’s elections accounted for a considerable proportion.However,due to the nature of the Nanjing government and the limitations of the times,although women have obtained the right to vote and to be elected,and quite a number of women have been elected as NUS,legislators,and supervisors,it does not mean that women have been truly liberated.Elections are no exception to the Kuomintang’s manipulation,and there is a phenomenon of bribery and election.However,in the social environment at that time,women’s groups could participate in elections according to law,and the right to vote and to be elected was already a sign of the history of the development of China’s modern electoral system.
