To the Question about the Definition of the Subject of Constitutional Law and on the Practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The article deals with the most common approaches to the problem of determining the subject of constitutional law in the modern constitutional literature. Based on the analysis of the value of the practice of the constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the conclusion is made about the advantage of the approach to the issue, which interprets the subject of constitutional law very widely, and the constitutional law itself is considered as a special mega- or meta-branch of the system of Russian law. The consistent development of this point of view is the justification for the introduction in Russia of mandatory preliminary regulatory control in respect of the laws adopted by the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, which, in turn, can cause certain problems in the development of domestic constitutional justice.
