Abstract
The article discusses the role of constitutional principles in the process of constructing and assessing the characteristics of crimes in a democratic state ruled by law. In particular, the text discusses the essence of the features of a prohibited act and indicates the scope of criminal liability under Art. 42 section 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and describes the impact of the principle of nullum crimen sine lege and the principle of proportionality on the issue of the characteristics of crimes. The conclusions drawn from this analysis may become an indication for the legislator on how to construct the elements of prohibited acts so that these regulations are consistent with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. These features constitute the basis for the accusation and also set the limits of the activities of law enforcement agencies. Their role in protecting legal order is therefore invaluable.
