Abstract: In the developmental course of our country’s rural grassroots democracy, the villagers’ autonomy has experienced a change from “Great Democracy” to institutional democracy, and the Organic Law of Villagers Committees of the People's Republic of China has played an important role. The law which has undergone major revisions has enlarged the participation scale of rural grassroots democratic autonomy, and has further normalized procedures of democratic election, consultation, management and supervision. While the construction of democracy is a longterm and systematic course, there are still some practical dilemmas such as deficiency of participative inner forces and conflict between autonomic right and administrative power. It is necessary to form a resultant force of path selection in respects of subject orientation, macro policy, democratic procedure and institutional guarantee so as to ensure the construction of rural grassroots democracy to develop with a steady pace.
