Some aspects of efficiency of authority of the executive branch of government

Abstract

The subject of this research is the efficiency of authority of the executive branch of government. The author reviews the approaches used in the general theory of law and administrative law towards definition of efficiency, making emphasis on the social aspect of efficiency of legal norms. Leaning on the considered doctrines, the author includes into the structure of efficiency of authority the socially substantiated goal of their realization, which in his opinion consists in ensuring enforcement of right and responsibilities of the citizens and legal entities (the subject of administrative law without authority). Based on the provisions of legislative acts and law enforcement practice, the article examines the organizing principle of authority that allows accomplishing the purpose of authority, determines its possible manifestations, as well as the conditions under which such principle can be implemented. The following conclusions were made: 1) the foundation for determining the efficiency of authority of the executive branch of government consists in their social impact, which is reflected in the level of implementation of the rights and responsibilities by the subjects of administrative law without authority; 2) since the efficiency represents feature of the system, it must be applicable to not to a separate measure of authoritative influence, but their ordered entirety, aimed at ensuring specific rights and responsibilities of the subjects of administrative law without authority; 3) the combination of lawmaking and law enforcement authorities, which in the conditions of their normative consolidation through assistance in exercising rights and responsibilities of private and legal entities, allows aligning private and public interests in various spheres of state administration.
