Structure of legal relations

The legal relationship itself, the concept and structure of them can be viewed both in a narrow and broad sense. In other words, there are two types of interaction with respect to legal norms.

In a broad sense, the structure of legal relations is a special form of social interaction that is formed before the law . Participants at the same time are endowed with mutual duties and rights and implement them, satisfying their needs and interests in a special, state-sanctioned order.

In the narrow sense, the structure of civil legal relations is a kind of social interaction regulated by a legal norm. Participants at the same time are endowed with mutual duties and rights and implement them to satisfy their interests and needs in a special order, protected and guaranteed by the state through state bodies. Rights-holders are called empowered persons, persons bearing a duty are obliged.

The structure of legal relations that arose on the basis of legal norms includes several types of interaction. On the basis of industry, state legal or constitutional, criminal procedural, criminal and other relationships are singled out. When separating interactions by belonging to a certain industry, the greatest importance is given to the division into procedural and substantive relations.

The structure of legal relations includes protective and regulatory interactions.

Protective relationships are formed as a reaction of society and the state to the illegal activities of legal entities.

Regulatory legal relations arise as a result of the production of regulatory norms, fixing a special order in the relationship. These relationships, in turn, are divided into relative and absolute.

The basis of this division is the principle of individualization of subjects. So, in relative relationships, both sides are defined exactly (the buyer and the seller, the contractor and the customer and so on).

Absolute legal relations are distinguished by the definition of only one side - the carrier of subjective law. As the obligated persons act other persons ("everyone", "everyone").

The structure of legal relations is also characterized by the presence of general and concrete interactions.

General relationships are formed on the basis of constitutional norms that define the duties, freedoms and rights of the individual, as well as administrative and legal and criminal-legal restrictions and prohibitions.

General relationships are divided into three categories.

1. Law-governed relations (legal relationship).
2. Have no legal form of relationship (unregulated).
3. The interactions are partially adjustable.

Any relationship is a relationship. However, not every relationship can be a legal relationship. Thus, not every interaction is subject to regulation by law. The limits of the legal branch may expand or narrow, depending on the circumstances, but as a whole are a reflection of the objective needs of the development of the state and society.

Any legal relationship includes in its composition:

- subjects;

- subjective law ;

- an object;

- a legal duty.

In modern society, a network of vertical and horizontal legal relations operates continuously. In many cases, citizens do not notice that they are participants in these interactions - so natural is the process affecting them.

Legal relations are the main sphere in public life. In conditions where the rules of law are in force, there is a constant formation, modification or termination of legal relations.
