Abstract
The target of Taiwan Constitution-making Movement is to fulfill the idea of Taiwan political community through the people’s collective action as holding a plebiscite and making a whole new edition of constitution which is based on Taiwan only, excluding mainland China. Contemporary Taiwan Constitution-making Movement had risen at the time when Chiang Ching-kuo declared to cease the martial order and developed to the high tide when Lee Tung-hui pushed constitutional reform. But when Taiwan’s president had been elected directly by all Taiwan people, Taiwan Constitution-making Movement went to calm down. The reason most of people think of is Taiwan has become a de facto independent sovereignty. It is not necessary to affirm Taiwan sovereignty independent by constitution-making. Since the switch of ruling parties in 2000, the procedure of amending constitution had been changed as to be determined by the ad hoc National Assembly and by referendum in 2005. Regarding the meaning of Taiwan people’s collectively practicing popular sovereignty and creating a new constitutional order, up to now, there is almost no difference between constitution-amending and constitutionmaking.
