论法条竞合的本质

On the Nature of Lapping of Legal Provisions

法条竞合现象本源于法条关系,其罪刑关系如何,则需要到社会中去寻找根源。法条竞合的社会本质是犯罪所侵犯而为刑法所保护的社会关系的竞合。法条竞合的社会本质是其最深层次的本质,它揭示了法条竞合发生的根源,也决定了法定刑的适用选择;法条竞合现象在理论属性上既非单纯的法条关系,也不能全然归于罪数形态研究中去,有立法方面的法条竞合(静态的法条竞合)和司法方面的法条竞合(动态的法条竞合即法条竞合犯)之分;法条竞合与犯罪构成理论有着密切的联系,无论静态还是动态的法条竞合都未改变竞合法条规定的犯罪构成要件在逻辑上包容或交叉关系,法条竞合的法律本质是犯罪构成要件的竞合。
