    Abstract: 近十年來，現代民主國家面臨諸多國內外之挑戰，對於民主體制的發展進程也因此有更高的關注，國際上這些挑戰有時是民粹式魅力領導以改革為由削弱公民權益，有些則是政黨政治菁英間的極端化導致激烈競爭過程中犧牲了民主體制與規範。在這個民主受挑戰的大背景下，台灣身為一個年輕的民主國家，依然穩健地發展其民主，根據V-dem 與自由之家等民主指標的評比，台灣保持著相當優秀的成績；同時，美國身為一個有著百年歷史的民主國家卻經歷了相當的民主品質倒退。這兩個國家間有甚多的差異，但兩者在政治菁英層面皆為兩黨制，而國內兩大黨的互動勢必定義民主體制運行之內涵。在本論文中，作者會通過比較兩國近期的立法過程，探討臺灣和美國的民主品質。使用新穎的民主理論作為基礎，論文聚焦於民主政治中的不成文「規範」，試圖在民主品質顯著下降之前，點出可能存在對於民主體制系統的潛在危機與困境。論文總分為五章，第一章提出研究背景和文獻綜述；第二章闡述核心理論框架、研究問題和假設，以及研究方法論和設計；第三、第四章依循理論發展出的框架操作，有結構地去研究美國與台灣兩個案例；最後第五章將比較兩個案例並企圖回答提出的研究問題。
    Modern democracies have been wrestling with challenges both domestically and internationally. In the past decade, concerns for the progression and development of democratic systems have become increasingly prominent. For some, this took the form of charismatic populist leaders rolling back on civil rights in pursuit of sweeping political changes. For others, the polarization of the political elites eroded democratic institutions in the process of partisan warfare. During this era of democratic anxiety, Taiwan’s young democracy remained steadfast in its democratic development, maintaining a high level of democratic quality according to indexes such as V-dem scores and the Freedom House scores. All the while, the United States, an established democracy with a long history, is experiencing its share of democratic decline. Despite their differences, the two countries’ politics operate under a two-party system where the dynamic between two parties defines many aspects of democratic institutions. In this thesis, the author explores the democratic quality of Taiwan and the U.S. by comparing the two legislative processes around similar periods. Employing a relatively novel theory of democracy, the thesis focuses on the subtle “norms” of democracy in its analysis in order to detail potential pitfalls of democratic politics before any more significant signs of drops in democratic quality present themselves. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter presents the research background and literature review. The second elaborates on the core theoretical framework, key research questions and hypothesis, as well as research methodology and design. The third and fourth chapters then follow the guiding theory and explore the two cases in a structured qualitative approach. Finally, the last chapter will compare the two cases and answer the proposed research question.
