Description
Summary:The principle of legality is a principle of social and State life consisting in the compliance with the legal norms by all participants in social relations. In any rule of law, enforcement of legality requires the duty of every citizen to follow the general provisions of the law. The principle of legality is a universal principle that requires all subjects of legal relations to comply with the law in their work. Due to the fundamental importance of laws, and mainly of the Constitution, legality is considered a principle of constitutional democracy. The order of law is another legal category close as concept to legality. It is an essential element in society’s life. The order of law is obtained when the principle of legality prevails, that is, when all people comply with the law. The order of law is a status of social relations governed by legal rules that correspond to the requirements of laws and other normative acts. The concepts of legality and order of law are close and interdependent. The order of law can not exist without legality, and legality weakens if there are flaws in the order of law.
