LEGISLATIVE SUPERSTRUCTURE ELEMENTS
The article is devoted to the notion of a legislative superstructure and its basic elements. The legislative superstructure is closely connected with law. Law defines objectively caused limits of people`s external behavior freedom, it outlines a framework of individuals` self-determination and their associations in public life. That is why limits of people`s external behavior freedom established by law must be considered to be a substance (a source) of law and a subject of the legal regulation. On the one hand, law is formed by legal psychology and peoples` everyday understanding their rights and duties, on the other hand, legal ideology dominating in a society, i.e. legal ideology of a ruling class is the direct sours of law. Law is an ideological phenomenon, i.e. it distinguishes not legal feelings, but legal ideas. Law is not a form of legal psychology. It is a form of legal ideology that conveys the systematized knowledge about law. The legal ideology of ruling class is developed by its ideologists, and it is based on a solid foundation of a certain philosophical outlook. That is why law reflects interests and outlooks of the class which dominates within the existing material production public relations. These are the elements of the legislative superstructure.
