Концепция правового государства и проблемы обшественной безопасности

Abstract

In the Constitution of the Lithuanian Republic personal inviolability of the citizens of Lithuania is set. Personal inviolability directly depends on the situation in the sphere of public security. It obliges the state to take care of public security as a whole. Personal inviolability is a value and comfort of any person. Its realization is an evident parameter of progress. In democratic rule-of-law states, where the basic laws fix the primacy of civil laws above the state interests, public security is a source of the security of every citizen. The purpose of the given article is to show how social-legal system of state influences personal security, in particular, and a public one, as a whole. The objective of the article is a juridical research of the concept of a rule-of-law state in order to reveal its characteristic features, as well as the analysis of the problem of justice, its relation with legality. The term "rule-of-law state" is understood in different ways by different authors. Accordingly, the novelty of the article is that the concept of a rule-of-law state is investigated in axiological and normative respect, thus the way a legal state influences the rights of citizens and the public security can be traced.
