Types of legal norms

Public relations are complex and multifaceted. Without proper regulation, they quickly get out of hand. The task of the state is to create conditions in which everyone can freely exercise their rights. The structure of legal relations is not easy. It is based on legal norms, which are adopted for various purposes.

What is the rule of law? This is a specific rule contained in the order of the competent authority. For non-fulfillment of it may come sanctions from the state.

Types of legal norms are different. There are several grounds for classification.

Types of legal norms

They are distinguished by subjects of law-making. In this case, they can come from the state itself or from civil society. In the first case, they are created by representatives of the authorities, in the second - ordinary people (for example, residents of a rural settlement at a gathering or residents of the whole of Russia in a referendum).

Types of legal norms can be delimited and based on social purpose, as well as on the role assigned to them in a particular legal system. In this case, they can be:

- Regulatory;

- constituent;

- security;

- definitive;

- operational;

- collision;

- protective.

Constitutive legal norms represent the initial principles of the entire legal regulation of any social relations, the limits of the state, the legal status of people. They consolidate the foundations of the social and economic structure of the country, they act as guarantors of freedoms and human rights. They are enshrined in the Constitution, laws and codes.

The protective types of legal norms are connected with measures of state coercion. These are those that come as a result of the violation of some prohibitions. They not only establish a certain order of imposing punishments, but also conditions, as well as the procedure for release from punishment .

Provisional regulations contain provisions that serve as a kind of guarantor that all subjective duties and rights will be taken into account in the process of legal regulation. Their social value will be really great only if they are used correctly.

Declarative norms include proposals of a program nature that determine the tasks and objectives of legal regulation of any particular types of social relations. They contain normative announcements.

The definitive norms contain definitions of legal categories and phenomena.

With the help of conflict norms , the contradictions that periodically arise between legal regulations are eliminated. All legal norms are subordinate to their superiors. Nothing can contradict the norms of the Constitution.

Operational are connected with the date of entry of new NPA into legal force.

There are other types of legal norms. There are those relating to the constitutional, criminal, labor or other law. All these are the norms of the branches of law. In turn, they can be divided into procedural and material. The latter contain certain rules of conduct, procedural - the basis for the procedure for applying these rules.

Legal norms can be dispositive, recommendatory or mandatory. In this case, the division is based on the methods of legal regulation. The nature of imperative norms is purely imperious, deviations are unacceptable. Dispositive types of legal norms are autonomous - they provide a certain choice. The recommendations also establish the rules for the desired behavior.

Finally, we note that the norms can be:

- general action:

- limited action;

- local.
