On 14 February, the
CCP Central Committee submitted the "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party on Amending Part of the Constitution" to the
Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. On 22 February, the thirtieth session of the Standing Committee of the
7th National People's Congress passed the "Draft Constitutional Amendment" based on the central government's constitutional amendment proposal, and decided to submit it to the first session of the
8th National People's Congress for deliberation. On 14 March, the Central Committee submitted the “Supplementary Proposal of the CPC Central Committee on Amending Some Contents of the Constitution” to the Presidium of the first session of the 8th National People's Congress. Because it did not comply with the constitutional amendment procedure, at the suggestion of the
Jiusan Society, 2,383 representatives resubmitted it to the Presidium. On 23 March, 2,383 deputies proposed supplementary amendments to the "Draft Constitutional Amendment" based on the supplementary suggestions of the Central Committee. After a vote, the Presidium merged the draft constitutional amendment originally proposed by the NPCSC and the supplementary amendments proposed by the deputies into a new draft constitutional amendment, which was submitted to the delegations for deliberation. On 29 March, the first session of the 8th National People's Congress passed the Constitutional Amendment with 2,848 votes in favor, 8 votes against, and 36 abstentions. == Amendments ==
