헌법개정의 쟁점과 전망-권력구조 개편논의를 중심으로-

Currently, the constitutional amendment is the most important issue that among politicians in korea. The advisory committee of constitution amendment submitted the amendment bill of the constitution, which is about ‘double executive’ and ‘parliamentary government’ system to the parliament on 31st of August, 2009. According to presidential system, citizens can elect the president by themselves. Therefore, it is appropriate to realize the democracy of the nation. In korea, however, this system raised not only the issue of too much power has given to the president highly but also it raised many corruption issues. By the way, on one hand, it is expected that there will be reasonable distribution of political power between the president and prime minister in ‘double executive’ regime. It may lead, however, conflicts during the distribution process. On the other hand, there will be high possibility of fair distribution of power in 'parliamentary government' regime, but it is also expected to undermine the development of democracy, if there are too many minor parties. Separation of Power needs to be appropriate to its national history, citizens and political culture to make a decision. As long as there are problems in the presidential system, it needs to be revised. The change of a political system is only a simple thing in the discussion of restructuring of the political system, however, the goal beneath of the restructuring of the political system is to empowering the right of general public. Thus, it is not about the understanding of political issues of each parties but, it is to remedy the abuses of political party government system. Therefore, the amendment of the constitution should be done to enhance the level of basic rights of general public by supplying optimized political power control system.
