ON THE RUSSIAN "CONSTITUTIONALISM" CONCEPT: GENESIS AND CURRENT STATE
In this paper we study the pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet periods of the development of constitutionalism. It should be pointed out that the concept of the relationship of society, state and personality, the role of law in the harmonious definition of this relationship and the state's connection with legal norms have long been the focus of academic interests in Russia. Summing up, it is noted that constitutionalism is based on the recognition of the exclusive role of the Constitution in the legal life of the state.
