The article deals with the modern approaches to the formation of the institution of responsibility of the state to a person. The author made an attempt to analyze the relationship “person – state” in the field of implementation of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen. It is proved that one of the reason of the irresponsibility of the state in this context is the absence of effective mechanisms of realization of such responsibility. The author suggests to carry out the legal regulation on the basis of the legislative act, by adoption of a special constitutional norms, providing special procedures and mechanisms for drawing the state into responsibility under the legislation. The criminal responsibility of public officials as a problematic aspect of legal responsibility of the state to a person is indicated. It is necessary for citizens to exercise their constitutional right – to control actions of the authority.
