THE CONSTITUTION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
December 12, 1993 is considered the day of adoption of the Fundamental Law of the Russian Federation – the Constitution. Simultaneously, the Constitution of Russia which came into effect in April 1978 ceased to be valid.
Firstly, the Constitution has established the Russian Federation to be a presidential democratic republic. Secondly, it has set the basic form of the government: three independent branches. Finally, all the bodies of state power and local self-government must operate within its guidelines.
Due to the Constitution, the multinational people of Russia are the source of power in the country. Every citizen of the country has all the rights, liberties and duties on its territory, stipulated by the Constitution. For this reason, the policy of the government is to be aimed at setting essential conditions to guarantee free development of people.
Above all, the Constitution of Russia declares that every citizen, his rights and freedoms are the supreme value. Under the Russian Constitution a duty of state is to recognize, respect and safeguard the human rights and liberties. Hence, they must not be violated.
Therefore, the Constitution provides the right to life and freedom, the right to work security against unemployment, the right to rest and leisure, the right to social security in old age. It also includes the right to health care and medical assistance, the right to education, etc.
In accordance with the Constitution the rights guard the citizens from violence, humiliating treatment and unlawful punishment. Moreover, the Constitution of Russia has organized the system of justice guaranteeing the protection of human rights and liberties in a court of law.
In conclusion, it may be said that the Constitution of the Russian Federation is of great practical importance. Surely, it has been amended for several times. But, in any case, it has met the changing needs of the nation. That’s why, people of Russia believe that the government should provide a framework of law and order in which they will be free to run their dignified lives. They expect their government to serve them. In fact, they tend to think the Constitution will both assure their rights and prevent federal and local bodies from gaining undue power.
