SOME ASPECTS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONING OF REGIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL JUSTICE IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The development of the institution of constitutional control emphasizes the importance of the Constitution as an act that establishes the basis of the legal status of the individual, the structure and relationship of state bodies and the basis of the legal status of the state at the international level. The peculiarities of the organization of the activities of specialized bodies of constitutional justice and other bodies of constitutional control in foreign countries are of considerable scientific interest. In countries with a federal form of territorial structure, both a federal body of constitutional control and similar bodies in the subjects of the federation can be created. From the point of view of the considered problems, the experience of the constitutional justice of the Federal states of Germany is instructive. The organization of their work and the results of their activities are considered to be among the most successful on the European continent. Most often, the terms of reference of the German land courts are determined by analogy with the Federal Constitutional Court. The paper notes that the experience of the functioning of constitutional justice in the federal states of Germany can be used in the organization of the system of regional constitutional control in Russia in the context of the ongoing processes of its reform.
