https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-6794-2022-1-29-38
Abstract
Aim. To describe the features of the system of principles of constitutional law. To single out the main forms of expression of complexly organized hierarchically correlated varieties of the principles of constitutional law.
Methodology. The study is built on the basis of deontic logic, which is the area of non-classical logics, within which normative statements and normative concepts are studied, as well as the logical connections of normative modalities based on the key points – their obligation and plurality. When writing the article, general scientific methods (system analysis, dialectical) and special research methods (comparative legal and formal legal) were also applied.
Results. The analysis of the features of the system of principles of the constitutional law of the Russian Federation is carried out; the main forms of expression of the principles of constitutional law are singled out, allowing them to be considered, along with the norms of constitutional law, as the primary systemic elements of constitutional law. The features of building a system of principles of constitutional law are revealed. It is substantiated that it is the system of principles of constitutional law, built on the basis of the construction of the structural-legal universe, the constitutional-legal concept and the constitutionallegal narrative, that allows, in the applied aspect, to maintain the stability of legal regulation and ensure legitimate expectations.
Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the theory of constitutional and legal taxonomy and provide a basis for further study of constitutional and legal categories.
