structure of the Constitution is a special procedure.Through it formed a special system that allows you to group homogeneous constitutional rules in chapters, sections and sequence location.
Features of the Constitution of the Russian Federation at different times, manifested in different ways.The provisions were reflected traits of the dominant ideology, the degree of development of one or another area of public relations to the level of preparedness of their legal influence, as well as processes to improve the legal machinery.
Characteristics of the Russian Constitution
the basis of generalization rules in specific single set of (chapters, sections) used the similarity of the object (object) regulation that is a direct relationship with the signs of the rules of the social relations on which the impact is carried out.
structure of the Constitution suggests the sequence position of the relevant legal systems.Orderliness is dependent on various factors.The first is the importance of considering the relationship of all the norms to each other, derivatives and primacy.In addition, the structure of the Constitution is directly dependent on the definition of the concept underlying the its provisions.These and other factors are important in understanding the whole system of the provisions of the Basic Law, the account of which is considered an integral component included in the qualified law-enforcement activities.
structure of the Constitution of the Soviet era distinguished legal imperfections.Standards, in particular the section on general provisions, were grouped without proper ordering and logical explanations.Until 1937 the Basic Law was absent section fixing civil rights.After this section took the last place in the Constitution.Only in the Basic Law, adopted in 1978, a section on the rights and responsibilities of a citizen was put to the second position, after the complex provisions of the policy framework and the social system.
During the development of the Constitution of 1993 was asked to put on a first section setting forth the freedoms and rights of citizens.In some countries, it is this set of provisions opens the Basic Law.In Russia, however, such a structure has not been accepted.This has its logical explanation.Thus, the Constitution is considered pointless to start with a section enshrining the freedoms and rights of the people, without defining the basics, according to which society works, whose members are citizens.At the same time set the freedoms and rights of the population in the second chapter, where they are recognized as the highest value and the essential foundation of the state system of the country.
The Constitution preamble and there are two sections.The first contains, in fact, the Basic Law.This section includes 9 chapters on:
- basis of constitutional devices.
- freedoms and rights of man and citizen.
- federal system.
- President of Russia.
- Federal Assembly.
- Russian Government.
- Judiciary.
- local government.
In the ninth chapter contains provisions on constitutional amendments and revision of Law.The second section contains "Final and Transitional Provisions".
It should be noted that the structure of the Basic Law is quite different from those that existed in the previous state (during the Soviet regime, in particular).Thus, the previously allocated preamble eleven major and six additional sections.As the main part of the drive the Federation Treaty.In the complex provisions of the current Constitution, reflected today in the first place conceptual ideas, which is based on the constitutional order of the state.
