For any legal system, the concept of personality is central, speaking in various qualities. So, she (the person) acts as the subject of the regulatory system, citizen, carrier of duties, responsibility and freedom, legal capacity, legality and other things. Various legal requirements are addressed to her, she largely determines at what level is the legal culture of society, the state of law and order. In addition, it is subject to judicial and other regulatory protection. The legal status of a person closes itself with various phenomena and categories related to one degree or another to regulatory processes and relationships.
The value of the whole system as a whole is determined to a large extent by the role that is assigned to the protection and safeguarding of the interests, life, honor, dignity, security of a citizen. The legal status of an individual reflects rights and their guarantees. In other words, the value of a system is largely determined by how much it allows a citizen to reveal his abilities, to realize his moral and social potential.
Interaction with the state through laws and regulations determines the legal status, reflecting also responsibility and obligations. However, the rights of citizens come first. In other words, the legal status of an individual provides for a right for a citizen.
According to experts, in the recent past, the study of the regulatory system was carried out only from a formal point of view. In other words, the concept of “legal status of an individual” was not significant. Moreover, the system itself provides for an appeal to a living citizen, as well as to his intellect, will, and consciousness. The vital activity of a modern citizen is not conceivable outside the norm. An exception may be only certain ethical aspects of being.
In the most concise way, the legal status of an individual is defined in discipline as the position of a citizen in society, enshrined in norms. Norms allow to introduce this position of an individual into the legislative framework. Legal and special status relate to each other in the same way as the content and form. In pre-state society, the social position of the individual took place. However, it was not fixed by law.
It should be noted that the legal registration of the actual, actual status of an individual can be carried out in various ways and methods, using certain specific means and techniques. First, a citizen is recognized as the subject of a regulatory system operating in society. Along with this, the individual is vested with legal capacity. This quality allows him to participate in the relevant legal relations.
The formation of the position of a citizen in the regulatory system is carried out using certain tools available to the official authorities. Moreover, all legal phenomena to one degree or another are concentrated in the legal status. As a result of this, the position that a citizen occupies becomes one of the main components of the regulatory system.
In Russia, the legal framework of the country, embodied in the Constitution, the Law on Citizenship, the Declaration on Freedoms and Rights and other major acts, is also being brought under the legal status. In this case, the regulatory framework is formed in accordance with international criteria.
In addition, a new direction of relations between the state and citizen is being formed. Personality is priority. She acts as the highest moral and social value.
At the same time, the legal status, like other legal institutions in the modern world, more adequately reflects the actual situation.
