The corporations are regulated by the law and thus they may not establish disciple delegate union or other similar organization to be the governing body or the highest governing body of the corporation. However, such legal framework of the system is against the traditions of all religions. Therefore, this research focuses on the supervision system of the religion corporations in Taiwan and examines the related problems posed under the supervision of the government, derived from the right and meaning of religious beliefs freedom endowed to the people by the constitution. The research also proposes responding strategies. he thesis adopts new system doctrine research methods to conduct it. It is also assisted by an analytical research method of past literature and deep analysis interviews with religious scholars, religious people and government officials. The research discusses the following topics: 1. If the government makes laws towards the direction to govern religious groups and help corporations solve their problems, then there''s no doubt of infringement of religion freedom. 2. Government legislate as the basis of the religion corporations establishment to protect their rights and obligations. 3. The religion corporations should be supervised only by the competent authority to solve the problems of dual supervision . 4.
