论刑法修正案的修正主体

中国刑事法的修正事实上进入全国人民代表大会常务委员会的立法时代。从目前刑法修正案的内容看,主要涉及刑事政策的重大调整,包括犯罪圈的扩张、刑罚的轻重走向,甚至涉及基本的刑罚制度。刑法修正案由全国人民代表大会通过更具有正当性,否则有违反罪刑法定原则之嫌,本质上也不符合宪法的规定。法治建设包括刑事法治建设应当从点滴的尊重宪法、敬畏宪法的小事开始。

On the Amender of the Amendment to the Criminal Law

The Amendment to the Criminal Law in China has in fact entered the era of the legislation of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress.The current amendments mainly relate to the major adjustments of the criminal policy,including the expansion of the criminal circle,the trend of penalties and even the basic penalty system.Adopted by the National People’s Congress,the Amendment to the Criminal Law is even more justified.Otherwise,it might be interpreted as violation of the principle of legality which essentially does not conform to the provisions of the Constitution.The rule of law,including the criminal rule of law should start from looking upon the Constitution with respect and in awe.
