Category "trust" in constitutional law: some estimates

Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the category ,,trust” in constitutional law. It is noted that the category ,,trust” is contained in all institutions of constitutional law. Some theoretical provisions on the concept of ,,trust” are considered. An assessment of the confidence of citizens in the President of the Republic of Belarus is given, on the basis of which it is concluded that there is no trust between citizens and the President, since relations between them are not equal in terms of the strength awarded and received. The author emphasizes that the purpose of the authorities - is to ensure the comfortable life of the people and the authorities themselves. Therefore, the authorities should be interested in free, fair and fair elections. However, elec- tions in Belarus are designed by the state not on the mutual trust of citizens and the state, but on formal prescriptions known only to the authorities. As a result, power from elections to elections replicates itself. In conclusion, the idea is expressed about the need to form an ,,ideology of trust” in the country.
