The authors examine the legal mechanism for the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, which includes not only the activities of state authorities, but also local authorities, which is naturally associated with the unity of public authority in the Russian Federation, proclaimed in the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020. The position of authors is confirmed by the scientific classification and examples of the implementation of constitutional guarantees of human and civil rights and freedoms in modern municipal practice. The authors have made a proposal to improve the efficiency of the legal mechanism for the implementation and protection of human and civil rights and freedoms through the adoption of a special document consolidating the relevant powers of public authorities.
