Lawmaking in the Context of the Theory of Correlation between Subjects of Constitutional Law

The paper is devoted to issues related to the analysis of lawmaking and law enforcement activities in the context of the theory of correlation between subjects of constitutional law developed by the author of this study. Based on the standings of reputable researchers, the author systematically proves the thesis that the entire law-making process at any level must be based on the real needs of the society based on the relations between subjects that already exist. The author considers it impractical and ineffective to change established ties by creating new documents and applying organizational measures on the part of the public authorities. Working for the federal executive authority, the author faced with the fact that creating new rules of conduct is planned in advance, and after a certain period of time a relevant report is issued. A planned nature of rulemaking also seems to be a vicious practice, since it generates unnecessary requirements and norms for persons on a daily basis engaged in certain activities the stability of which only increases its effectiveness. In addition, a well-established strict positivist approach to the implementation of legislation has positive sides and allows ensuring legality and law and order, but citizens should have at their disposal tools to influence legal acts in the event that the current norms do not work or do not work as initially intended. The paper provides the reader with some suggestions with regard to the issues under consideration.
