摘要:刑法的基本原则在刑法典的制定上起着重要的作用,其中罪刑法定原则在基本原则中更是具有特殊的指导和实践意义。罪行法定原则作为法治国思想的产物,最初是自由竞争的资本主义时代个人本位观念在法律上的要求和反映,其后,经过不断的发展完善,逐渐体现了现代化法制国家对自我价值和保护社会价值的双重要求。探讨罪刑法定原则的基本内涵是贯彻罪刑法定的首要工作,罪刑法定的内涵是刑法理论中的深层次问题。罪刑法定原则的精神实质就是保障人权,扩大自由,这是罪刑法定主义原则的应有之义和深层内涵。罪刑法定原则是基于刑法的人权保障机能优先的观念提出的,没有人权保障机能优先的观念,罪刑法定原则也就失去了存在与发展的前提和意义。但与此同时,我们应当以动态的、历史的、发展的眼光来看待罪刑法定原则。罪刑法定原则不论以什么样的形式出现,它都是与特定的社会背景、历史条件等相联系呼应的,是对当时特定的政治状况、阶级斗争的反映,但是罪刑法定原则的精神实质是不会随历史的变迁而变化的,相反还会随现代文明社会的到来与发展而日臻完善.本文将针对刑法原则的特点,系统地论述罪刑法定原则产生的历史渊源、发展过程,以及国内外学者和各个流派的观点,深入分析罪刑法定原则所蕴涵的限制刑罚权的滥用、保障人权和保护社会等内在价值。

引言
罪刑法定原则是在司法实践和经济发展中产生的,这一刑法之基本原则的产生与确立可以为我们区分罪与非罪提供了法律依据。法就是公平,就是秩序,同时也是规矩。无规矩不成方圆,有了规矩,就要求人们必须认真遵守,任何人也不能违背这个神圣的规矩,违背了它就要受到相应的惩罚,失去某些自由或权利。随着规矩的发展和演变,人类便确定了习惯法,之后据习惯法而制定了成文法,法于是诞生。
