Abstract

The State and Law journal opened a scientific discussion on the preparation of a new Constitution of the Russian Federation with a fundamental article by M. I. Kleandrov in 2022. Thus, the stereotypes about Constitution’s “inviolability” that existed in the constitutional doctrine were broken. The authors consider theoretical approaches to the possibility of a radical change of the Constitution; the reasons that formed an objective need for this and concomitated with the beginning of deep processing. Based on the analysis of new scientific concepts the author’s proposals regarding the constitutional institution of public authority are synthesized. The overdue correction of the current model of local self-government is justified as a result of a change in the relationship between the elements of the system of public authority.
