Constitutional rights of citizens of Russia

The status of a citizen in any country of the world is determined by the existence of his rights and obligations, which are provided by certain laws. Constitutional rights of citizens are reflected in the basic law, which makes them more important than any other regulations. Everything that is adopted at the level of laws, in different organizations, state structures, must first of all correspond to the rights defined in the Constitution.

Basic rights

To have a general idea of the scope of the rights granted, it is important to talk about the main. It is worth noting that the constitutional rights of Russian citizens fully comply with all norms of the most weighty international documents in this field, which our country has also joined.

Political Rights

In this area, citizens have impressive opportunities. The key is the right to elect, as well as to be elected. This can be limited only by the person's ability to act and the fact that it is necessary to reach a certain age. It can be different, depending on the post that the citizen claims. In addition, everyone can gather for rallies, processions, etc., create associations, including political parties, apply with a complaint, appeal to state bodies. Constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens in this sphere are wide enough and are not limited to what I have listed.

Economic Rights

They must be connected in some way with the economy or production, and therefore have this name. Constitutional rights of citizens here is an opportunity to own property privately. And the person to whom the thing belongs has the right to do with it whatever it wants: to make any transaction, to remake, improve or even destroy it. In addition, in this sphere, the right of entrepreneurship is singled out, as well as the fact that goods, services and money can move freely throughout the country.

Social rights

An extensive group that is characterized and derived from the social functions of the state, which are also reflected in the Constitution. The right to work, housing, decent wages, health care, pensions - all these are constitutional rights. Citizens can not be deprived of them if they need these rights. It should be noted that the realization of all rights should exist ideally, but not all states can actually implement them. For example, the resettlement program from dilapidated housing is not working at its full potential, and a number of citizens will in any case live in an emergency fund.

Personal rights

Their peculiarity is that they spread not only to citizens, but in general to all people. The right to life, health, freedom, inviolability, as well as to secrecy (personal and family) and to protection. Such constitutional rights of citizens are the most important, since they relate directly to everyone. After all, there are those opportunities that are realized only by a limited number of people. For example, you can never be elected to government bodies, and it seems like it does not concern you in any way. With personal rights, such a situation is impossible.
