The system of constitutional law of the Russian Federation is a rather complex, structured, dynamic complex. It has its own laws, features of functioning and construction. In its most general form, the system of constitutional law of Russia is regarded as a specific entity consisting of three elements. These components are independent, however, are in close relationship with each other. So, the system of constitutional law includes principles, norms and institutions.
Under the principles understand the fundamental foundations. These foundations are approved in the Constitution of the country. The first chapter reflects the principles that determine the essence of the state, the position of the individual in it, the acts in accordance with which economic relations are carried out. In addition, in this section the procedure for the use of public resources is fixed, the foundations of the political structure in society are established.
The foundations contained in the system of constitutional law are the primary regulatory basis for fixing the remaining provisions in the Basic Law, the entire structure of the existing legislation of the country, as well as other regulatory acts of the state. Other provisions are focused on further development, as well as concretization of the foundations. So, they enshrined the competence of state authorities, the procedure in accordance with which they should implement the adoption of individual and general regulatory acts. In addition, the duties and rights of citizens and other entities are established, and legal and other guarantees are determined on the basis of which the principles on which the constitutional law system is based are implemented.
At the same time, none of the existing and existing norms, regardless of where it is fixed, can contradict the primary regulatory framework of the Basic Law. If any provisions are found to be inconsistent with constitutional norms, these provisions lose their force and are recognized as unconstitutional. In the same way, they should not contradict the principles of decisions and actions of state bodies, citizens, officials and associations.
When the existing laws or other normative acts do not contain the necessary provisions or they contradict the Basic Law, citizens have the right to exercise their rights in accordance with the principles that form the constitutional system. These principles, in turn, include three groups of norms.
The first group includes acts regulating the activities of the state and state bodies. The second category includes provisions that determine the legal status of an individual in a state. The third group includes norms that enshrine the legal force of the Basic Law and the procedure in accordance with which amendments are made to it.
In accordance with the principles that form the constitutional system, the form of the Russian Federation as a state is fixed, the source of state power is established, the methods of exercising democracy are determined, the spatial boundaries of the country's sovereignty are determined. In addition, the principles are formulated, according to which the federal structure is determined , the authorities are divided into judicial, executive and legislative, as well as certain bodies are established that exercise government power. On the basis of Article 7, social policy in the state acquires the status of a constitutional basis, which guarantees the free development and decent life of every citizen, regardless of the type of his activity.
Moreover, the state does not have undivided dominance in the political structure of society. In accordance with the foundations of the country's constitutional law system, political and ideological diversity is consolidated, including a multi-party system.
