合宪性解释在刑事司法中的运用

The Application of Constitutional Interpretation in Criminal Justice

宪法学和刑法学的本体都应当是解释论,在此意义上,合宪性解释对宪法和刑法都具有非常重要的意义,具体到宪法上,其具有实施宪法、彰显宪法保护公民权利与自由等意义;具体到刑法上,主要体现为出罪、明确刑法多含义条文在具体案件中的真实含义等意义。刑法解释方法位阶理论限制了合宪性解释的运用,因此合宪性解释的具体运用的理论前提是对刑法解释位阶予以否定。罪刑法定原则体现了宪法中罪刑关系的基本内容,合宪性解释在实践中具体运用需要借助罪刑法定原则的实施。在刑事司法个案审判中,引入比例原则也是合宪性解释的具体要求。

Law needs interpretation,but constitutional interpretation is seldom heard in practice.It is necessary to clarify in theory.Constitutional interpretation is of great significance to both criminal law and constitution.As for the criminal law,it is mainly reflected in the following aspects:to commit a crime;to clarify the true meaning of the multi meaning provisions of the criminal law;to improve the authority of interpretation of law.To the constitutional level,it has the importance of implementing the Constitution and highlighting the protection of civil rights and freedom by the constitution.In theory,the specific application of constitutional interpretation needs to negate the rank of criminal law interpretation methods,because it is these theories about the rank of interpretation methods that limit the application of constitutional interpretation.In practice,we still need to use the principle of legality,because it reflects the basic content of the relationship between crime and punishment in the constitution.In the specific operation,we need to use the principle of proportion.
