TO THE QUESTION OF LEGAL CONSCIOUSNESS AS AN IDEOLOGICAL SOURCE OF LAW
The article explores the relationship between "source of law" and "form of law." It is noted that in modern legal science there is no single approach to this problem. The "ideological" sources of law, which include legal consciousness and legal ideology, are analyzed. It is emphasized that this source of law has not been sufficiently researched. It is concluded that legal awareness and legal ideology are the intellectual basis of the law, capable of streamlining relations between the subjects of law and the role of such phenomena of law as legal awareness, legal culture and the legal ideology is very significant, as they, reflecting spiritual values, are an integral criterion of the legal progress of society and determine the vector of social development. Ideological sources of law are at the heart of legal practice, defining the public importance and expediency of its legal regulation.
