CONSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN CHALLENGES AND GLOBAL SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS
Constitutional and legal issues consistently occupy a central place in modern legal doctrine. Scientists (and not onlylawyers) appeal to it when discussing social, economic, state-legal transformations, legal values and constitutional ideals, vectorsfor the development of law and its ‘civilization', law understanding, national development strategies, etc. The Constitution is in thefocus of attention when considering the processes of digitalization, the spread of information and communication and other newtechnologies, interstate integration, strategies and tactics to counter corruption, and many other phenomena. The Constitution isused as a tool of scientific knowledge, a criterion of validity and truthfulness of many judgments and conclusions. This approachhas demonstrated productivity, as its application has allowed lawyers not only not to lose sight of the constitutional and legalaspects of new phenomena and processes for the legal sphere, but also to consistently justify the original conclusions about theprospects of the constitutionalization of human rights of the new generation (digital, somatic), digital (both in terms of form andcontent) of the Constitution. On its basis, new subjects appeared in legal discourse: the constitution and media, the constitutionalideal of the relationship between the virtual and the real in law, etc.
