Abstract
This thesis attempts to discuss disposition of dissidents in the state law during the latter period of Japanese rule in Taiwan.odern political movements rose in Taiwan since 1920’s, and the intellectual elite led these movements to oppose the authority. Althogh the offices of the athoruity veried—police, prosecutor, and corut—and their stance toward the dissidents were slightly different each other, they were as a whole in conformity with the rule-by-law principle. In other words, they were formally legal. In fact, this formal legality brought some benefits to the dissidents, or to the ordinary citizens; the dissidents even took advantage of it. However, the formal legality still had a serious limitation—the concrete content of the state law, either in general or in particular, is determined by the ruler, not by the ruled, which is actually the majority of the inhabitants.his historical experience reminds us of the importance of state law’s legitimacy, and makes us keep in mind not only the significance of “rule by law”, but also that of “rule of law”, particularly in Taiwan, where the experience of democracy has only a short history in its modern years.
