Who exercises state power in the Russian Federation?

The Russian Federation is a large multinational state where many religions, religions and peoples coexist under the same flag. Maintenance of a healthy legal field, order and development in the country is a duty of the state. In our country, state power is exercised by the president, the government, the Federation Council, the State Duma and the courts.

The president

As the country's leader, the president plays an important role in the state's administrative apparatus. Its priority task is to create such a legal framework in which no person vested with power would violate the Constitution of the country. The President has the right to select cadres for important government posts. Someone the head of the state appoints at own discretion, someone suggests to choose to the State Duma or Council of Federations.

The President exercises power by influencing legislative bodies, thanks to his right to submit his bills to the State Duma. The head of state can also sign federal laws and send bills for reconsideration.

Another mechanism of influence on the branches of power is the annual messages of the country's leader to the Federal Assembly. The President points to problem areas, which require close attention of the state.

The head of state influences the government, speaking at his meetings and repealing anti-legal decisions. The president also has the right to abolish normative acts of the executive bodies of power provided that they contradict the current legislation and the Constitution of the country.

The leader of the state is also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the country. He defines the plan for the development of the defense industry and manages the military forces as a whole.

As the first person in the country, he exercises state power, defining foreign policy, negotiating with leaders of other states and signing interstate agreements.

Government

It is the supreme body of the federal executive power, exercising public administration. At the same time, in his activity he is guided by the provisions of the Constitution, federal laws and normative acts of the president of the country.

Government as a body of state executive power carries out activities for:

• Creation of a centralized financial and credit policy;
• The creation of a unified policy of education, science and culture;
• Management of federal property;
• Creation of a legal legal field, where the rights and freedoms of citizens are taken into account.

The chairman sets the vector of work and organizes the activities of the government.

The ministers work within the framework of their department and fulfill the tasks set by the chairman.

Council of the Federation

This is the upper house of the Federal Assembly, the body of state power, which reviews laws, adopts draft laws of the State Duma, and independently deals with norm-setting.

The Council of Federation includes 1 member of the executive branch and 1 member of the legislative branch from the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The Federation Council conducts hearings separately from the State Duma, with the exception of cases related to the speeches of the first persons of the state and the President of the Russian Federation.

Also, the Federation Council necessarily considers the laws passed by the State Duma related to currency, credit, customs regulation, international treaties, martial law issues and the conclusion of peace.

The State Duma

This is the chamber of the Federal Assembly, which is elected by citizens of the Russian Federation through closed voting and is engaged in lawmaking.

In addition to creating new bills, the DG can:

• To confirm the choice of the chairman of the government by the president;
• Raise the issue of trust in the government;
• Appoint the chairman of the Central Bank;
• To charge the president.

Decisions and decisions of the State Duma are adopted on the basis of a majority of votes. Organizational matters of the State Duma are decided by the chairman.

The Duma also hears a message from the President and holds meetings.

Courts

Justice in Russia can be exercised only by the courts. In Russia there are federal, constitutional and world courts, which constitute the judicial system of the country.

Each instance exercises state power depending on its competence and status. Courts of the same membership are part of the judicial system. District courts occupy the first link of the judicial system, regional and equal to them - the second, the Supreme Court - the highest link.

As a rule, any litigation begins with the court of first instance - the district court. In case of disagreement of the parties with the decision of the judge, the decision will be appealed in the higher - appellate - judicial authority body. If the new resolution does not satisfy any party, a cassation complaint is filed with a higher court.

The judiciary is called upon not only to resolve the disputes that arise, but also to control other branches of power. So, the Constitutional Court has the right to recognize the laws as unconstitutional, in the event that they really belong to such. If the law contradicts the federal law, the Constitution or other normative acts, the Court has the right to recognize it as illegal. If a public person is accused, the Court must also confirm the presence of guilt. In addition, representatives of the judiciary can take decisions on the liquidation of religious, political and other organizations engaged in illegal activities and resolve economic disputes between state and municipal authorities.

Authorities outside branches

The branch of power does not include:

• Court of Accounts;
• Central Bank (provides economic growth and interest rate control);
• Bodies of the Prosecutor's Office (exercise control over the implementation of existing legislation);
• Ombudsman (examines complaints against state bodies in connection with violation of rights);
• The presidential administration (creates conditions for the work of the president);
• The CEC (responsible for holding referendums, elections).

People

Article 11 of the FCF clearly provides an answer to the question of who exercises state power in Russia. But the main driving force endowed with the greatest power is the people of the Russian Federation, which is reflected in Article 3 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

Power is the conductor of popular opinion, aimed at creating a safe and comfortable existence in the state.

The modern system of country management allows you to distribute responsibilities, monitor your work and effectively interact with ordinary ordinary citizens.
