Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of socio-political and administrative-legal dimensions of freedom of expression of political views. It is substantiated that the socio-political processes taking place in Ukraine in recent years contribute to the establishment of our state as a legal democracy, one of the key features of which is the effective implementation of the human right to freedom of political expression. The article formulates the definition of "freedom of expression of political views", which is proposed to be interpreted as a natural right of every person to freely express their political views, assess historical events of a political nature and modern political processes and phenomena. The socio-political and administrative-legal dimensions of this concept are considered and it is concluded that the right to freedom of expression of political views is interrelated with other constitutional human rights and freedoms; provides for legislative consolidation and appropriate implementation mechanism; acts as a voluntary act of human activity, which forms him as an active citizen and promotes involvement in the political life of the state. It has been found that freedom of expression of political views is a natural right of every person to freely express his or her political views, to evaluate historical events of a political nature and modern political processes and phenomena in the manner prescribed by law. Finally, considering this concept in the interaction of socio-political and administrative-legal dimensions allows to bring society closer as an association of people with the state as an organization of political power of society, thus helping to consolidate in the legal consciousness of the vast majority of citizens a positive image.
