state-legal tradition

The phenomenon of constitutionalism and the Ukrainian model of constitutionalism in the context of the formation of the national state-legal tradition is researched. The opinion is that the main formula for the existence of the Ukrainian model of constitutionalism is the idea of ensuring human rights and freedoms through the restriction of state power, in the first place, by means of parliamentary, local self-government and the organization of state relations with a clear division of powers.
