Abstract

The present of Ukraine is characterized by a constant search for the optimal form of government. The events that have taken place in Ukraine since 2014 and continue to this day have led many politicians and legal scholars to turn to a problematic practical issue that has been poorly covered at the theoretical level. It is a vision of the optimal form of government in Ukraine: should the existing system of unitarity be improved, or should efforts be made to create federalism?

The problem of optimal government has been studied by many scientists - Ukrainian and foreign. These are, in particular, the works of O. Batanov, V. Medvechuk, L. Shestopalova, J. Zhovnirchyk, N. Zelinska, M. Klymenko, L. Mykhailyshyn, V. Mishchuk.  However, their views on the most appropriate state system for Ukraine are different. Some researchers insist on the need to build a unitary state, others - on the creation of a federal state. The proposed research does not provide sufficient arguments for determining the most optimal state system for the existence of Ukraine as an independent state and generates a number of scientific discussions.

 The aim of the study is to determine the best future state system for the most effective existence of an independent Ukrainian state. The article assesses the probable consequences of the functioning of the federal state system in Ukraine. The meaning of the terms "unitary state" and "federal state" is compared. The historical, political, social factors that influence the formation of the state system in Ukraine are analyzed. Arguments on the optimal state system of Ukraine are given, taking into account the latest events in our country. Possible ways of further development of the state system of Ukraine are identified.
