THE GOVERNING SENATE’S SUPERVISION OVER LEGALITY: NEW VALUE IN THE PETER'S PERIOD
https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-6794-2022-3-8-14
Abstract
Aim. To identify the own supervising activities of the Governing Senate as a new value reference point in the Peter’s period of Russian statehood.
Methodology. The acts included into the first Complete Collection of Laws of the Russian Empire were analyzed.
Results. The research states that the Senate’s own supervision reflected the following complex value of public administration: firstly, the report on the execution of decrees replaced the formal direction of such decrees; secondly, the independent implementation of oversight by the Senate, not limited to responding to the reports of the prosecutor or the fiscal authority; thirdly, the use of various, not exclusively punitive measures in detecting violations of the rule of law.
Research implications. The article covers the problem of changes and formalization of the content of «supervision» in the powers of the Senate, as well as highlighting the right to execute this institution’s own supervision, which is in the «shadow».
