The paper has analyzed the academic heritage of Prof. Ekaterina I. Kozlova in the part of her research of fundamental issues of the theory of constitutional (state) law, namely: the system of the branch under consideration and public law institutions. The author focuses on suggested by Prof. Ekaterina I. Kozlova innovative division of the system of the branch of constitutional law and the structure of the Constitution, the substantive approach to the construction of the institution of state law, consistent defense of the concept of unity of the system of constitutional (state) law. The author has determined the current significance of the conclusions made by Prof. Ekaterina E. Kozlova concerning the development of constitutional law institutions: complication of their structure, expansion and specialization of constitutional law norms and, as a consequence, the emergence of complex institutions and the problem of subsectors; an increase in the number of norms, i.e. principles and procedural rules in constitutional law.

The article deals with the constitutional and legal basis for determining the system of parliamentary law: The subject matter, methods, and sources. It is stated that legal norms characterized by common features, internal unity and different from the norms of other branches of law form an independent branch (a sub-branch of constitutional) law. For now, the institutions of parliamentary law are studied within the framework of the theory of state and law, constitutional (state) law, and, to some extent, administrative law, and parliamentary procedural law is distinguished. In this regard, the article notes that the development of democracy and parliamentarism, the increasing importance of Parliament in the implementation of the principle of separation of powers always compels the legal doctrine to separate parliamentary law. The author substantiates the conclusion that constitutional law, as the leading branch of public law, regulates social relations that are usually called basic (constitutional) — or fundamental — in each area of life, while parliamentary law has theoretical and legal prerequisites for being separated into an independent branch (sub-branch of constitutional) law without violating the organic unity of constitutional law. Thus, the author believes that at the present level of democracy development it is possible to state the presence of prerequisites for the formation of a new branch (sub — branch) of law — parliamentary law.

In the paper based on conceptual provisions put forward by Prof. Kozlova, the author sets the objective to identify tendencies that manifest themselves in the development of constitutional and legal institutions at the present stage taking into account the dynamics of the subject of legal regulation, as well as the ongoing transformation of the Russian legal system. In this regard, the author has examined the problem of expanding the field of relations regulated under constitutional law. The author has concluded about the blurring of boundaries between institutions of constitutional law, which entails the problem of attribution of norms to a particular institution. The paper has analyzed the issue of emergence of intersectoral institutions that can be characterized as neither public nor private, as neither substantive nor procedural. This leads to the need to change the very approach to the concept of “institution of law.” It is concluded that constitutional law institutions can contain unwritten legal regulators that can include both rules of natural law and rules of conduct developed directly in the society.

The defendant must be a public body, the subject matter of a claim must be a public law matter, and the claimant must have the right to claim.

Contemporary discussions about practical reason or practical rationality invoke four competing views, which, by reference to their historical models, can be named as follows: Aristotelian, Hobbesian, Kantian, and Nietzschean. The subject matter of this chapter is a defence of the Kantian conception of practical rationality in the interpretation of discourse theory. At the core lies the justification and the application of the rules of discourse. An argument consisting of three parts is presented to justify the rules of discourse. The three parts are as follows: a transcendental-pragmatic argument, an argument that takes account of the maximization of individual utility, and an empirical premise addressing an interest in correctness. Within the framework of the problem of application, the chapter outlines a justification of human rights and of the basic institutions of the democratic constitutional state on the basis of discourse theory.
