Keywords: civil society, constitution, constitutionalism, human rights, public relations

Abstract

The article considers the current problems of the constitutional foundations of civil society in the context of guaranteeing human rights and freedoms. The main ideas of civil society as a basis for a legal and democratic state operating on the principles of constitutionalism are considered. Modern scientific approaches to the essence of the concept of "civil society" in legal doctrine are generalized.

 It is proved that the rights and freedoms of citizens are the most important political and legal institution in civil society, which determines its development. It is stated that human rights in civil society are inseparable from public relations. The legal guarantee of the formation of civil society in states built on the principles of constitutionalism is the existence of a constitution, which enshrines the fundamental rights of man and citizen. The problem of realization of constitutional guarantees of human and civil rights on the example of the Constitution of Ukraine is investigated.

Emphasis is placed on the fact that modern civil society is facing acute challenges (racism, discrimination, aggression, xenophobia, data abuse, poverty, environmental issues, etc.), which threatens fundamental human rights worldwide. In addition, issues such as high levels of corruption , low economic development, weak state institutions are for any state.

It is concluded that the existence of fundamental human rights declared in the constitution is a definition of the mechanism of realization of human rights and freedoms, consolidation of guarantees for their protection. However, an important feature of modern civil society is not their declaration or the presence of relevant norms in laws and regulations, but their implementation in the life of every person as the highest social value.
