民国时期的山西省参议会和上海市参议会,两者所面临的全国性的政治经济形势有一定的共通性,但两者在代议民主进程中所表现出来的民主风貌却有很大的不同。这些不同表现在议员的选举与构成、议案的内容与处理和双方的外部权力关系网络等方面。 During the period of Republic of China, both the Senate of Shanxi Province and the Senate of Shanghai Municipality had some commonalities with the national political and economic situation they faced. However, the democratic outlook both in the process of the representative democracy and the democratic outlook were quite great different. These differences are manifested in the election and composition of members, the content and handling of the motion, and the network of external power relations between the two parties.
