论我国宪法司法适用的空间

On the Space of the Judicial Application of Constitution

宪法司法适用不等同于违宪审查或宪法诉讼 ,它所涉及的是普通法院在审理民事、行政以及刑事案件时能否附带进行违宪审查或直接援引宪法条款来裁决民事、行政、刑事案件的问题。人民代表大会制并不意味着我国宪法没有司法适用的空间。事实上 ,人民法院完全可以在以下三个方面适用宪法 :对行政机关和社会组织抽象行为的附带性违宪审查、宪法的民事适用和刑事适用。

The judicial application of constitution is not equivalent to the review of constitutionality or the constitution lawsuit, but what it involves is whether ordinary courts are allowed to make the review of constitutionality or directly use the constitution provisions to make judgment on the questions arising from civil cases, administrative cases, or criminal cases, etc. The system of People's Congress does not mean that there is no space for judicial application of constitution in China. In fact, people's courts can apply constitution to the cases with respect to the subsidiary review of constitutionality of the abstract acts of administrative organs and social organizations, and the civil and criminal application of constitution.
