The system of administ rative review of normative documents is established by Article 7 of the Law on Administ rative Review. However, great difficulties have been encountered by this system in its operation. As a result, thissystem performs practically no function and creates many new problems in the practice of the rule of administ rative law. The fundamental reason for these problems lies in the insufficiency of the theory on administ rative review of normative documents. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the position of administ rative review of normative documents,such as the confirmation of citizen's complete right of petition, the power of administ rative supervision at the normative level, and implied confirmation of comprehensive judicial review, in the theory of administ rative law. A rationalsystem of administ rative review of normative documents can be logically established through this method. The essence of thissystem lies in the fact that it makes the administ rative review of normative documents independent and comprehensive and strengthens the authority of the organs of administ rative review. |
