Legal ideology as the ideological and theoretical basis of the activities of public organizations in Ukraine

Abstract

The article outlines the conceptual features of legal ideology as an ideological and theoretical basis for the activity of public organizations in Ukraine. It has been proven that public organizations have a significant perspective to join the formation of legal ideology in Ukrainian society. After all, they, first of all, become guarantors of the inviolability, implementation and protection of personal rights of a person and a citizen; secondly, it is a means of self-organization of society members and realization of their interests; thirdly, they act as an effective institution of democratic control over the functioning of state power and the degree of state intervention in social relations; fourth, give citizens the opportunity to directly participate in the process of making important decisions for society. Therefore, public organizations act as a determining factor in the formation of legal ideology, and therefore a means of change in modern society, an effective tool for the realization and protection of common interests guaranteed and protected by the Constitution of Ukraine.
 It is noted that in view of the challenges of globalization, public organizations must change the form and methods of work, which means their use of new civilizational approaches to the formation of legal ideology in society. In recent years, public organizations have managed to obtain new rights and forms for the formation of legal ideology in our country, namely the possibility of: legislative initiative, consulting and expert assistance, informational support for their own actions and the actions of power structures, social support and control.
