Abstract

The supreme value in a state is man, his rights and freedoms, and the recognition, respect and defense of these rights and freedoms is the basic obligation of the state. The criminal trial represents that field of activity where the issues related to the defense of human rights and freedoms are of special relevance. For this reason, it is of particular importance to study the historical evolution of the means by which the legislator ensures the fulfillment of this constitutional obligation by the state. Medieval criminal procedure regulations regarding the presumption of guilt have been harshly criticized by scientists. However, the most important event that contributed to its emergence in most criminal procedure legislations of several states on the European continent was the Great French Revolution. Its importance was felt far beyond the borders of France, exerting an enormous influence on the political and legal system of several states.
