The study on the signs of socio-economic constitutionalism addresses only certain aspects of this broad issue. The article says that the Constitution of the Russian Federation lays down the potential of a socially oriented economy, examines the relationship of the social and economic foundations of the constitutional system with the foundations of the socio-economic status of the individual and the problems of the country's economic development. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the significance of constitutional values in the context of socio-economic constitutionalism during the economic crisis is indicated, a correlation is established between the effective development of a socially oriented economy and the implementation of constitutional norms that enshrine the principles and guarantees of socio-economic rights as basic guidelines, not fully implemented. The scientific result of the study was the proposal of the need to develop and implement a state standard of social well-being. In connection with the use of such a standard, law enforcement practice may in the future contribute to positive shifts in Russian socio-economic constitutionalism in the context of the formation of answers to the challenges of globalization.
