scholarly journals The Principle of Maintaining Citizens’ Confidence in Law and State Actions during the Practice of RF Constitutional and Statutory Courts

This article examines the final decisions of constitutional and statutory courts in RF subjects, as well as individual decisions of RF Constitutional Court and the judicial legal positions expressed in them. Judicial practice, established on the basis of control and supervision activities of constitutional justice regional bodies, allows us to consider the principle of maintaining citizens’ confidence in the law and the actions of the state as a cross-sectoral legal principle that serves as the criterion to evaluate the constitutionality of legal norms adopted outside the powers of Russian Federation on the subjects of joint jurisdiction of Russian Federation and RF subjects. However, the close relationship between the principle of citizens’ confidence maintaining in the law and the actions of the state with the general legal principles of justice, equality, legal certainty and the recognition of a person, his rights and freedoms as the highest value makes it possible to qualify this principle as a general principle of law. According to the judicial practice of the constitutional and statutory courts of RF subjects, the principle of maintaining citizens’ confidence in the law and the state actions has its own criteria, each of which can be used for the evaluation of regional constitutional justice activity.

25 years of influence of the Constitution of the Russian Federation on public relations in our State has radically changed the idea of the Constitution and Constitutional Law. Admission of the Constitution of the Russian Federation by the society marked the formal recognition of social values spelled out in the Constitution and the nature of the legal principles implementing these values that are generally recognized by international law. The system of constitutional principles of natural origin became the basis for the constitutional regulation of social relations. The natural origin of legal principles means that they emerged in legal reality as a result of rational activity of a man, not only in terms of legitimizing the natural rights inherent in the man from birth, but also within the framework of their corrective impact on state regimes in light of promotion of civil rights and human freedoms. The natural origin of the constitutional principles gives an objective character to the constitutional regulation, and their predetermination and supremacy in relation to the influence of the legislative activity of the State power allows to create a constructive dichotomy of the constitutional and legislative regimes. In the theoretical and legal sense, constitutional principles as regulators of social relations constitute the “law of the Constitution”. Its fundamental part consists of the basic constitutional principles that determine the foundations of the constitutional system. The paper defines the mechanism of influence of constitutional principles on public relations that is different from the normative regulation: constitutional principles, in contrast to the norms acting in full compliance with their content, act in accordance with a a certain detectable extent of its content. Legal development of constitutional regulation arises from the interpretation of constitutional principles by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. Resolving cases with regard to the constitutionality of normative legal acts, the body of constitutional justice creates legal stances — new constitutional regulators of social relations that not only correct the constitutional development of the State, but also are the law-making characteristics of the decisions. Using the construction of constitutional regulation, the author proposes an actual understanding of the problem of constitutional identity.

The paper analyzes the principle of sustaining citizen’s trust to the law and actions of the state in the system of individual / authorities relations. This principle is introduced into the Russian legal system by rulings of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation possessing the legal force of the Russian Constitution. However, the Supreme Law itself does not feature this property in the text. It is accordingly required – which is the purpose of this paper – to study this principle’s notion, content, nature, character, scope and place in the system of other legal principles, including those established in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, some of which are referenced by the Court in its rulings to justify the identification of the analyzed principle. To solve the above tasks, methods of interpreting official legal texts were applied (systemic, special legal and logical methods), as well as the anthropological approach. It is established that the researched principle is a general legal (universal) principle that stands on its own in the system of principles and is associated with the need for the whole state’s activity to comply with the established value, moral and ideological beliefs, generally accepted social conventions, etc., i.e. society’s legitimate expectations, which defines its scope and applicability. The recognition and respect of human dignity is central in society’s legitimate expectations from the state as it implements its activities. The latter requirement is fundamental for this principle and the public trust to state’s activities that is shaped during its realization; at the same time, such requirement is a criterion of how aligned state’s actions are with the society’s legitimate expectations. The novelty of this approach rests on identifying closely interconnected grounds, features, content and scope of the researched principle.

The book presents the author's concept of the systemic relationship of doctrine, lawmaking and judicial practice. Taking into account modern tendencies of constitutional development, the role and importance of the doctrine in lawmaking and law enforcement, judicial practice, actual problems of normative control, issues of implementation of judicial decisions are revealed. The work is devoted to the issues of the correlation of doctrine and legislation; Role of judicial practice in law-making work; The use of the doctrine in the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation; Problems of legislative initiative of higher courts of the Russian Federation and implementation of court decisions in the legislation of the Russian Federation. The study of the issues of using the doctrine in the drafting of bills allows us to see not only the content of legal norms, but also the dynamics of the development of social relations regulated by them. The doctrine describes legal phenomena, it is a kind of prediction of foresight of situations that can develop in the sphere of legal regulation. The Doctrine formulates and develops the principles of law, which are the basis for regulating social relations in cases of a gap in law, when it is impossible to apply the analogy of law. Legislators and law enforcers turn to legislative comments, where the doctrine fully meets legal gaps, develops law and formulates new legal provisions. In many respects the problems of legislation, the inefficiency of draft laws, leading to multiple amendments to laws; Unsystematic legislation; The numerous laws - are due in part to the insufficiency of the use of legal doctrine. The lack of a unified approach to the problems of improving the legal regulation, the overall concept and strategy for the development of legislation, a clear understanding of the stages and main directions of the state strategy for the development of legislation leads to a chaotic update of norms in various branches of legislation, uneven development of its individual institutions. Judicial norm-setting has a special impact on the legislator, since the forms of judicial rule-making in the form of precedent, judicial practice, legal positions of the highest judicial bodies are in effect a regulator of public relations, overcome legislative gaps. Analysis of the practice of the Constitutional Court shows that the failure to implement the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation is caused by a number of reasons, including: lack of proper legislative base, weak activity of state structures in the process of execution of decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, legal nihilism, low level of legal culture, lack of financial resources from the state.
