Corporal Punishment as a Type of Administrative Liability
This paper considers the formation of the institution of corporal punishment in the territory of the Russian state. The authors conduct historical and legal analysis of this phenomenon. In each specific historical period, the authors consider the legislative acts establishing corporal punishment as a form of administrative responsibility. The authors note that at the present stage of development of legislation, undoubtedly, at the head of all legal acts is the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which sets the priority of international law norms over domestic, abolishing this kind of punishment, since the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen are the foundation on which Russian legislation of all levels is built.
