Abstract:: The essence of people’s democratic dictatorship is that people coming from different walks of lifeand abiding by the law form the ruling class of their country. The current constitution of China specifies theessence of people’s democratic dictatorship from the perspectives of the class formation，people’s democracy，and socialist system. Corresponding to the changes in people’s subject-hood，people’s democratic dictatorshiphas shown different forms like class dictatorship，democratic dictatorship and law-based dictatorship. All theseforms have been produced by the requirements of the times but each has their own historical limitations. Inthe current situation where the country should be governed by the constitution，the constitutional dictatorshipshould be the new form of people’s democratic dictatorship. As a basic means for safeguarding theconstitutional order and people’s subject-hood，the ultimate purpose of the constitutional dictatorship is to endcrises and restore the governance normal of ruling the country by the constitution. Therefore，we have to see toit that the constitutional dictatorship should be effectively implemented and that instead of being suspended，theconstitutional authority and people’s subjectivity should be embodied in every aspect of our governance.
