The moral basis of human rights in the light of the 2020 amendment to the Russian constitution

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of current trends in the development of scientific research, constitutional and legal legislation, and the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, which prepared the legal basis for the inclusion of the amendment initiated by the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin in the Russian Constitution in 2020. The author notes that the constitutional novelty of 2020 has stimulated an increase in the effectiveness of legal regulation of human rights and freedoms, based on moral norms, and expanded interaction with civil society institutions.

Among the main current trends in the development of legislation, the author mentions the consistent expansion of social solidarity relations, especially in the field of education. There is not only a significant restoration of many national traditions in the field of religious, moral, and legal regulation of human rights and freedoms, but also a convergence of modern constitutional and legal regulation in this area with other secular states.
