摘　　要：古代希腊和古代罗马人对宪法概念的理论探讨和长期进行的古典宪政实践,许多为后世国家所效仿,成为现代西方社会宪政制度实践和宪法概念研究之最初源头。希腊先哲们对政体形式进行分类及其对合理政体形式之探讨,虽是针对当时城邦制度而提出的,但无疑对后世国家选择合理的政权组织模式提供了最早的理论基础。希腊人提出的政体概念,亦在一定程度上为宪法概念的产生做出了应有贡献。虽然在希腊尚未有词汇"宪法",但是古希腊出现的词汇"政体"是宪法概念产生的萌芽。"根本法"这一宪法性质初露端倪。宪法概念最终出现在罗马帝国时期。The theoretical investigation of constitutional concept and the long - term constitutional practice carried out by the ancient Greeks and Romans, which had been imitated by later states, became the original source of constitutional system practice in the study of constitutional concept in modern western countries. Although the Greek philosophers classified the form of government and explored rational regime aiming at city - state system at that time, it＇ s no doubt that they provided theoretical basis for later states to choose rational pattern of regime. The concept of Politeia that brought forward by the Greeks contributed partly to the emergence of concept of constitution which appeared finally during the period of Roman Empire. Constitution is the fundamental law of a state, it＇ s one of the important legacies that Romans left behind for later generations.
