Features of fundamental rights in the context of the philosophy of law

Abstract

The article explores the notion and peculiarities of fundamental rights of the individual in the modern, legal state. In this research, the author implements versatile, holistic, systematical (methodical) analysis of content and distinguishing features of the structural elements of the concept "legal status of the individual". Therefore, the theoretical and practical research of problems of development of fundamental human rights gives an opportunity to find new solutions in protections of relations concerning the individual's legal status. This study is also focusing on various approaches of well-known jurists on the essence, content and legislative consolidation of the fundamental rights of the individual. The author comes to a conclusion that in recent decades, the philosophy of law (with the theory of state and law) took under its active protection and guardianship man with his rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, and which have ceased to be the subject of national legislation's regulation, and moved to the international legal platform. Consequently, the government is obligated to guarantee fundamental human rights and freedoms. Hence, theoretical, methodological and practical analysis of problems of the individual's legal status and elaboration of suggestions concerning the enhancement of national legislation, is one of the most actual problems of jurisprudence.
