Abstract

Abstract: the article examines the grounds for the implementation of the constitutional legal personality of municipalities in the Russian Federation. The article analyzes the impact of constitutional legislation on the activities of local self-government bodies. The article considers some materials of constitutional judicial practice, which substantiate the construction of a unified system of public power. The article examines the grounds for the emergence and termination of the constitutional legal personality of municipalities. The possibility of applying the V. E. Chirkin’s concept is indicated on public legal entities in the study of the status of municipalities. The author comes to the conclusion that municipalities by their nature are full-fledged subjects of constitutional relations, which realize their legal personality in the person of local self-government bodies, the head of the municipality, municipal employees, as well as legal entities. Along with the exercise by public authorities of their functions and powers, the legal personality of municipalities is expressed in the possibility of bearing constitutional responsibility.
