本文試圖整理柏拉圖《理想國篇》以及《孟子》文本中的正義及法律思想。柏拉圖將靈魂三分與城邦三種基本族群相對應,指出心靈及城邦各部分形成和諧整體,需要能實踐正義此一德行。理性調和情慾,如同哲學家協調武士及生產者般,具關鍵性。法治則是哲君提升人民德行的重要途徑。在儒家思想中,孟子進一步闡明「義」此一德行,主張仁義等均為人與生俱來,需要持續培養的德行。義、德在於人處社會應對之合宜,仁則是人探求合宜課題之歸所。柏拉圖思想較之蘇格拉底更重視數理,不但在古希臘思想發展上,開啟重要的脈絡,也使古中國儒家與古希臘思想的分歧,更為明顯。

本文分析了金融科技創新產業在美國的反洗錢防制法的遵循現況。首先,主要兩項法律涉及與洗錢防制有關的規範,這兩項法律是1970年的銀行保密法和組織犯罪控制法。銀行保密法為關於洗錢問題的專門性法律,該法規範了銀行和其他金融服務機構必須遵守的規定,以確保其服務符合反洗錢防制法。然而,組織犯罪控制法僅規範及定義利用金融工具的洗錢犯罪。再者,金融科技創新公司並不會主動遵守反洗錢防制法,因大多數金融科技創新公司並不認為自己是金融服務業。事實上,他們的商業模式與現有的反洗錢防制法規定並不一致,然而這種不願意遵守反洗錢防制法的做法使他們面臨訴訟,相關資料顯示,部分業者因為未能遵守反洗錢防制規範,而被判處20年刑期。最後,本論文以法制規定的綜合討論及要件評析作為結論。

An Overlooked Case for Judicial Review: Striking a Dynamic Balance between Constitutionalism and Democracy

-          Author: Wen-Cheng Chen & Min-Ta Chuang

In this article, Wen-Cheng Chen & Min-Ta Chuang analyzed Commentators disagree on the legitimacy of judicial review in a constitutional democracy. Many scholars who argue for (or against) judicial review have based their claims on democracy or democratic theory, while other scholars have founded their positive (or negative) arguments on constitutionalism or constitutional theory.

司法違憲審查制度在憲政民主體制的角色與正當性為何?學說見解常存有歧異。許多支持或反對論者以民主政治或民主理論為論證基礎,另外一些支持或反對論者則以憲政主義或憲政理論為論證基礎。現存文獻對上述重要問題的探究有所不足、欠缺從憲政民主體制的結構與功能面向來探究司法違憲審查制度的重要角色。本文採取結構與功能研究途徑,在結構層次上論證當代憲政民主乃是含蓋憲政主義與民主政治的結構體系;在功能分析上,分別從必要性、可行性、適當性等三個基礎,來詳細論證司法違憲審查制度的重要角色在於維持憲政主義與民主政治的動態平衡。依此論證,司法違憲審查可視為是當代憲政民主體制中,用以維持憲政主義與民主政治動態平衡的必要且適當的制度。
