Abstract

Based on the analysis of the general provisions of the Law of the Russian Federation on the Amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation dated March 14, 2020, No. 1-FKZ "On Improving the Regulation of Certain Issues Related to the Organization and Functioning of Public Power," the article highlights the moral and value principles that determine the direction of development of the legal framework for social, economic, and environmental rights of citizens. By examining the content of individual articles of the Law and the new constitutional terms, the article concludes that the legal framework for these groups of human rights has undergone significant changes, which provides a powerful impetus for the development of legislation and enhances the humanistic principles in law enforcement. Special attention is paid to the institution of social solidarity, which was reflected in the Constitution for the first time, and its impact on the content of legislation and law enforcement.
