RESPONSIBLE STATE AND CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMING (ON THE EXAMPLE OF RUSSIA)

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the constitutional legal theory and the problems of the practical implementation of the constitutional responsibility of the state (on example оf Russia), in particular, in connection with the implementation of large-scale constitutional reforms in the new conditions, actualizing the role of the state as the subject bearing primary responsibility for preventing domestic and global threats. The author defines the constitutional responsibility of the state, reveals the content and functions of this responsibility. The functions of the constitutional responsibility of the Russian state represent a single system of various manifestations of the social role of this responsibility: regulatory, preventive, protective, punitive, restorative, educational. The functional approach allows us to formulate a broad understanding of the responsibility of a democratic state, adequate to the scale of its modern strategic and current tasks aimed at the progressive, sustainable development of all countries and peoples, preservation of earthly civilization for present and future generations.

The analysis of real social relations, including those taking shape in the process of constitutional reform, does not allow us to conclude that the responsibility of the Russian state in constitutional relations with the people and every citizen of the Russian Federation is consistent and complete. The author’s proposals are aimed at strengthening constitutional legality in the country and increasing the responsibility of the Russian state as a subject of constitutional and legal relations in order to solve the problems of Russia's transition to sustainable development. The state is called upon to ensure that the Constitution fulfills its role in creating the legal basis for the transition to a new development model and the formation of a regulatory framework for all branches of law in accordance with the concept of sustainable development.
