Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of state-legal system. The author argues the need for the introduction of this category in the domestic scientific circulation and the relevance of this problem for the modern science of the history of state and law. On the example of the U.S. development during the Civil war, the author demonstrates that the Union of two elements: the state and the legal system is due to their historically close relationship. The article argues that the introduction of the concept of «state-legal system» into scientific use will allow to describe the integral theoretical and legal phenomenon uniting in a broad sense the political and legal spheres of society. On the basis of the conducted in-depth analysis of the theoretical material the author proposes the author’s definition of the concept of the state-legal system.
