Constitutional Values and the Level of Citizens’ Legal Awareness as Factors in Preventing Domestic Crises

Abstract

The study of constitutional values and the level of legal awareness in citizens is critically important, since their harmonious interaction forms the legal and social stability of the state, minimizing the risks of internal conflicts and ensuring the legitimacy of government in crisis conditions. At the same time, modern science lacks comprehensive works that reveal the mechanisms of mutual influence of specific constitutional values and the dynamics of citizens' legal awareness in the context of their preventive impact on domestic crises, which limits the development of key strategies for strengthening the legal stability of society. The purpose of the study is to establish the relationship between constitutional values and the legal consciousness of citizens, as well as to assess their impact on the prevention of domestic crises, which transform the substantive specificities of the main features of the state. The author analyses theoretical approaches to the definition and systematization of constitutional values, their role in the formation of the axiological foundation of society, as well as the impact on the stability of legal regulation in the context of the transformation of state institutions. Special attention is paid to the importance of legal awareness as an internal regulator of citizens' behavior, a source of law development, and a tool for implementing the state will. It is shown that the harmonization of constitutional and traditional spiritual and moral values contributes to strengthening legal culture, building trust in government institutions, and reducing the risk of crisis phenomena. The conclusion is made about the need to preserve the humanistic principles of law, its anthropocentricity as a guarantee of stability and progressive development of the Russian Federation in the face of challenges and transformations.
