Abstract
Aim. To analyze the right to the physical existence of a person, determine its content and highlight the principles aimed at the constitutional protection and protection of human existence in its physical aspects.
Methodology. The comparative legal method, historical, formal logical, legal dogmatic methods are used in the research, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis.
Results. The author proposes to introduce a new legal structure into the theory of constitutional law, formulating it as a «right to physical existence», which emphasizes the combination of collectivity and individuality in the content of a number of subjective human rights. The author substantiates the need to use the anthropological approach in the formation of the legal structure of the right to physical existence.
Research implications. The conclusions made in the course of the study are aimed at improving legislation and law enforcement practice in the field of ensuring and protecting non-property human rights, including the right to physical existence. The findings of the study can be used not only in law enforcement, but also in the process of teaching constitutional law.
