The article covers the analysis of the main doctrinal approaches to the definition of the concept of reception in constitutional law. The issue of reception in the constitutional law of Ukraine in modern conditions of state formation is quite pressing and has a range of both theoretical and praxeological search, especially in the process of qualitative change of the paradigm of constitutionalism, which is being currently formed in the convergence of modern legal systems and realization of the world strategy of vitality in the face of global challengesfor mankind. The study of reception as a constitutional and legal phenomenon and process will allow determining the prospects for the development of Ukrainian statehood in the context of globalization and eurointegration. The purpose of the article is to analyze the main doctrinal approaches to defining the concept of reception in constitutional law and to formulate the concept of this legal category as a constitutional and legal phenomenon and process. It is emphasized that the main prerequisites and reasons for the importance and necessity of reception in the constitutional law of Ukraine are: 1) the convergence of modern legal systems and the formation of the concept of global constitutionalism require the universalization of constitutional values; 2) the development of social relations, scientific and technological progress, biomedical technologies creates gaps in the constitutional and legal regulation, because the realities, in relation to which the constitutional law remains indifferent,appear (e.g., digital rights, the right to gender identity, to cloning , to surrogacy, etc.); 3) European legal integration as a foreign policy vector for the development of Ukrainian statehood, stipulates the adoption of EU law (including constitutional law) by the national system of legislation of Ukraine; 4) global threats (climate change, pandemics, nuclear weapons, etc.) require changing the vector of constitutional development and consolidating the international community in order to counteractthem. In view of the above, the issue of the need to develop an effective concept for the implementation of the reception as a constitutional and legal phenomenon and to optimize the process of its implementation,considering feasibility and necessity. In conclusion, the author notes that the understanding of reception in constitutional law solely as borrowing or textual transfer would contribute to a one-sided interpretation of this legal category, and therefore proposes to define reception in constitutional law as a constitutional and legal phenomenon and the process of legal interaction between states, encompassing the possibility of or the need for the introduction and assimilation of the foreign legal material (or an international rule) by the national system of constitutional law in order to modernize and develop it. Keywords: reception in constitutional law, constitutionalism, constitutional law, convergence, borrowing, adaptation, harmonization, eurointegration

The article examines the theoretical aspect of unification and its impact on the effectiveness of legislation. It is noted that regardless of the place of creation, the legislative process has always been and remains a difficult task, the solution of which requires a comprehensive approach. Unification is studied from a philological and legal point of view. It is emphasized that unification has been actively studied with the development of international organizations, and is an effective way to regulate legislation and integration into the international legal space, as expressed in the joint cooperation of different countries through the adoption of similar legal acts. It is now widespread in the legal systems of countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Finland, where maritime, trade, contractual, binding legislation, etc. are unified. Unification directly affects the quality of legislation, as well as contributes to the convergence of legal systems. In general, it can be described as a way of converging legal systems by forming a uniform legal regulation within the relevant legal space. The points of view of legal scholars on the definition of the concept of unification of legislation are considered. Unification is characterized as a process of streamlining legislation in order to uniformly regulate social relations in different legal systems. Emphasis is placed on the mandatory implementation of unified norms in the domestic law of the state. Key words: unification of legislation, legal regulation, implementation, system of legislation.

The article discusses the constitutional category of «labour», the definition of which is not enshrined in legislative acts because it is considered to be a well-known category, which is not a special legal one and does not require any clarification. However, this approach creates difficulties for legal regulation, as it blurs the boundaries for the legislator and the executor. Lack of awareness of the concept of a regulated category can lead to a situation when the legislator, creating a new law or making amendments to an existing one, will subject to regulation the area that does not pertain to the relevant legal phenomenon, or vice versa - will ignore part of the content of the regulated category, which is certain to negatively affect the quality of legal regulation. Law enforcement practices similarly face difficulties in having only doctrinal understandings of statutory concepts, which creates inconsistency in decisions made by lawyers in course of their professional work. The 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation enshrined the category of «labour» in a number of articles, but did not clarify the interpretation of its concept. The analysis of economic and legal views on labor allows us to conclude that, despite the status of a well-known category, which, it would seem, does not need an explanation, only the presence of clear criteria for recognizing an activity as labor, provides high-quality legal regulation, in particular, it allows not only to separate the types of activities that are not subject to legal regulation, but also to choose the right branch of law that regulates social relations in each particular case.

The purpose of the article is to typologize terminological definitions of security, to find out the general, to identify the originality of their interpretations depending on the subject of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is the methods that made it possible to obtain valid conclusions, in particular, the method of comparison, through which it became possible to correlate different interpretations of the term "security"; method of hermeneutics, which allowed to elaborate texts of normative legal acts of Ukraine, method of typologization, which made it possible to create typologization groups of variants of understanding of the term "security". Scientific novelty. The article analyzes the understanding of the term "security" in various regulatory acts in force in Ukraine. Typological groups were understood to understand the term "security". Conclusions. The analysis of the legal material makes it possible to confirm that the issues of security are within the scope of both legislative regulation and various specialized by-laws. However, today there is no single conception on how to interpret security terminology. This is due both to the wide range of social relations that are the subject of legal regulation and to the relativity of the notion of security itself and the lack of coherence of views on its definition in legal acts and in the scientific literature. The multiplicity of definitions is explained by combinations of material and procedural understanding, static - dynamic, and conditioned by the peculiarities of a particular branch of legal regulation, limited ability to use methods of one or another branch, the inter-branch nature of some variations of security, etc. Separation, common and different in the definition of "security" can be used to further standardize, in fact, the regulatory legal understanding of security to more effectively implement the legal regulation of the security direction.

This article examines the issues of differentiation of legislative and subordinate regulation of public relations. It is noted that in the process of law-making activities, including the legislative process, practical questions often arise about the competence of various state bodies to establish various legal norms and rules. These issues are related to the need to establish a clear legal meaning of the constitutional norms devoted to the definition of the subject of regulation of laws. In particular, there is a need to clarify the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of the concepts "the most important public relations", "all other relations", "subsidiary legislation", as well as to establish the relationship between these concepts. Interpretation is also required by the provisions of p. 4 of Article 61 of the Constitution in terms of clarifying the question of whether the conclusion follows from mentioned provisions that all possible social relations in the Republic of Kazakhstan are subject to legal regulation, including those that are subject to other social and technical regulators (morality, national, business and professional traditions and customs, religion, standards, technical regulations, etc.). Answering the questions raised, the author emphasizes that the law and bylaws, as a rule, constitute a single system of legislation, performing the functions of primary and secondary acts. However, the secondary nature of subsidiary legislation does not mean that they regulate "unimportant" public relations. The law is essentially aimed at regulating all important social relations.

The author presents a comparative legal analysis of the segments of construction law in Croatian and Slovenian law, with the aim of pointing out the differences that exist between them. Considering that this is a relatively new legal institute, which was somewhat earlier standardized in Slovenian law in relation to Croatian law, in the introductory exposition, a brief review was made of the occurrence of the construction law and the reasons for earlier non-regulation. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the stipulations of Act on ownership and Property Code of the Republic of Slovenia. This part refers to the conceptual definition of the construction law, in order to classify it in a certain broader unit, to which it belongs - genus proximum - searching for the closest relative, emphasizing the important characteristics that make it specific in relation to other property rights. In the third part of the paper, the author analyses the stipulations related to the subject of building rights, with reference to the dilemmas that exist in that sense, both in Croatian and Slovenian jurisprudence, as well as in the legal science of some other countries. The fourth part of the paper is dedicated to the stipulations that regulate the acquisition and duration of construction rights. Considering that derivative acquisition, among other things, characterizes the existence of bases and ways of acquisition, first possible bases of acquisition are presented, and then entry in appropriate public books as a way of acquiring this right and its duration. The concluding part of the paper summarizes the results of the analysis and evaluates the considered legal solutions, with the presentation of reasoned objections to the existing regulations, all with the aim of eventual amendment of the right to build in the legal systems in question.

The article considers the matters of constitutional and administrative-legal regulation of the right to peaceful assembly in the Republic of Kazakhstan (RoK) and a number of foreign countries. Since there is a lot of publications dedicated to the study of compliance of this legislation to international standards, the analysis has been conducted by the following criteria: the general characteristic of the right to freedom of assembly from the viewpoint of international and constitutional law standards, the principles of organization and holding of public assemblies, the procedure of organization of a public assembly and its holding, and the liability for breaching this procedure. The author shows that the current incoherence of legal norms in this area prevents from developing a unified legal model for administrative liability for breaching public order and safety when holding mass events. Based on the study of normative and research materials in administrative and constitutional law, legal principles and approaches to freedom of assembly in international law and the law of a number of foreign countries, the author proposes options to improve the conceptual framework of legislation concerning assembly and mass events, to formulate proposals that will allow efficiently and legally applying administrative liability for breaching the RoK law concerning the procedure of organization and holding of peaceful assemblies, rallies, marches, pickets and demonstrations. Primary provisions and conclusions of the article can be used in scientific and practical activity when considering issues of holding liable for offences infringing constitutional rights of citizens and the established procedure for organizing and holding peaceful assemblies, rallies, marches, pickets and demonstrations, and to reform the norms of legislation on administrative offences.

The article reveals the relations between two phenomena of legal reality: the legitimacy of law and exceptions to the law. The author agrees that the legitimacy is the most important feature of the right, indicating the recognition of both the right itself and its regulatory impact by the majority of the population. The legitimacy of the law is achieved through its effectiveness, especially speed and differentiation. But the main quality that contributes to the legitimacy of law is the possibility of coordination of different-vector interests of numerous and heterogeneous subjects of social relations. The main role in solving this problem is played by exceptions to the law, which offer a different, compared with the General version of regulation, without destroying the standardizing effect of legal regulation.

The article analyzes the features of the legal regulation of intellectual property in Ukraine, in particular in the Ukrainian lands of Austria and Austria-Hungary (1772-1918). The author shows that the main source of legal regulation of civil relations, in particular intellectual property, in Galicia as part of Austria and Austria-Hungary (1772–1918) was the Austrian Civil Code of 1811. Property rights under the Austrian Civil Code of 1811 were the right of ownership, the right of possession, the right to pledge, and easements. The author highlights that things were divided into corporeal, disembodied, movable and immovable, used and unused, with price and without price. The bodily things were those perceived by the sense organs. Disembodied things included, first of all, property rights - the right to fish, hunt, and so on. It is shown that in the Austrian Empire for the first time the provisions on the legal regulation of intellectual property were provided for in the Civil Code of 1811 (Articles 1164‒1170). The author shows that the Austrian legal acts of 1846 for the first time regulated the free use of works, including the right of translation, citation. According to the law of 1846, the artist had to reserve the right of reproduction and exercise it for 2 years under the threat of losing his rights. It is emphasized that the presence of Western Ukrainian lands in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, in comparison with the previous period of the Commonwealth, contributed to the spiritual progress of the Ukrainian nation, intensified cultural and artistic processes in Ukrainian lands. The author reveals that an important and new normative act in the field of intellectual property regulation was the Austrian Copyright Act for works of literature, art and photography, adopted on December 26, 1895. Attention is focused on the fact that the development of industrial property rights was carried out under the influence of economic development, which in the western Ukrainian lands as part of Austria was slower than in the economically developed regions of Austria, and thus - Austria-Hungary. It is concluded that the development of legal regulation of intellectual property in Galicia as part of Austria and Austria-Hungary (1772-1918) formed a certain experience, which was characterized by the specification of objects, subjects, the definition of intellectual property, the consolidation of copyright and their defense in court.
