The Subject Matter of Constitutional Law and Legal Regulation

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of identifying the subject matter of constitutional regulation on the basis of author's ideas concerning such categories as legal regulation and legal impact, law-making and law-enforcement regulation, the subject matter and object of regulation. The author highlights the importance of the method and legal structures for determining the subject matter of separate branches of law. It is shown that the originality of the constitutional law subject matter is determined by the place this branch takes in domestic law. First, constitutional law has its own sphere of regulation - relations regarding the formation and exercise of the supreme power. Second, constitutional law is aimed at solving a whole range of general legal tasks, such as those that are solved under the general norms within the framework of individual branches of law. Under the second direction, the subject matter of this branch covers the subject matter of national law as a whole. In addition, it includes all branches of national law (law becomes the subject matter of law).
