公民投票提案的合憲性審查──以比較法的觀察及我國法制的檢討為核心

Proposal for a Referendum and Judicial Review: A Study on the Comparative Law and Taiwan’s Legal System

公民投票法於2017修法後，於2018年11月24日首次適用，即通過七項公民投票案，惟隨之產生的諸多問題，卻促使公民投票法即將再次修正。其中最值得注意的是，諸多公民投票法修法草案擬增列排除限制或剝奪基本人權的公民投票事項，自也衍生一連串值得探討之議題：是否增列排除限制或剝奪基本人權的公投事項本身即為爭議問題，自須由公民投票的本質及公民投票的實際運作經驗，探討對公民投票提案合憲性審查的必要性與正當性何在？再者，其對於公民投票法現有的提案及司法審查勢必有重大影響，比較法制上之經驗有何值得參考之處？均有進一步研究之必要。

The Referendum Act, which was first introduced on 24 November 2018 after the amendment of the Referendum Act, was first adopted on 24 November 2018 with many issues, which prompted the Referendum Act to be amended. Most notably, the proposed addition of referendum to the draft referendum law, which excludes restrictions of fundamental human rights, has also given rise to a series of issues worthy of discussion: whether the inclusion of the referendum matter excluding restrictions or denial of fundamental human rights is itself a contentious issue, the nature of the referendum and the practical operational experience of the referendum, and what is the need and legitimacy to explore the constitutionality of the referendum proposal? Moreover, what is the reference to the existing proposals and judicial review of the Referendum Act? There is a need for further research.
