从古到今,直接民主制饱受争议。公共领域作为一种公众“在场”的直接政治参与平台自身具有难以克服的先天性不足,从而使一个国家的发展面临着某种不确定性。公共领域要有效发挥自身在现代国家治理中的积极作用,就必须恪守自己的职能边界、法治边界和公共性边界。 Since ancient times, direct democracy has been disputed. The direct political participation platform of the public domain as a public “presence ” has inherently insurmountable deficiencies itself, so that the development of a country is faced with some uncertainty. To effectively exert its positive role in the governance of modern countries, the public sphere must abide by its own functional boundaries, the rule of law and public boundaries.
