TO A QUESTION OF HIERARCHY OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES IN CIS AND BALTIC COUNTRIES

Abstract

all system of the constitutional values in the state is in a condition of dynamic balance and is characterized by unity and integrity, functionality, degree of structure and difficult organization, not reducibility to properties of its separate elements. The comparative analysis of constitutions of neighboring countries confirms existence of hierarchy in system of the constitutional values. Considering the humanistic content of the majority of constitutions of CIS and Baltic countries, authors offer the following hierarchy of the constitutional values: the supreme value (absolute and relative values), priority values (can limit all other values, except absolute), and other values. At the same time the hierarchy of the constitu-tional values has rather conditional character owing to the changing concrete historical situation development of society and state and jurisprudence of bodies of the constitutional control owing to what there is no strict list of such values.
