  • The State Constitutionalism was originated in early 1920s when the Republic of China was just founded and in a period of civil war. As an experiment of federalization, State Constitutionalism finally failed by reason of military interference. State Constitutionalism is unique as a federal experiment in China;

    and the complex circumstance of State Constitutionalism was also rare. China was divided into two groups in politics and culture at that time, which made the south and central provinces in an awkward condition of civil war. As a result of the dividing, State Constitutionalism developed without solid democratic foundation. Only Hunan Province Constitution was established as a result of State Constitutionalism.
