Концепция культуры в конституциях современных государств

Goal – the aim of the publication is to formulate theoretical provisions on the legal regulation of culture in constitutions of modern states. Research methodology – in the article the author applied formal legal method, comparative method, historical and legal method. Score/results – the concept of culture enshrined in the constitution of the state, as a value protected by the state, does not remain unchanged. As social reality becomes more complicated, the preservation and development of culture as a diverse object of constitutional regulation is more clearly outlined. The certainty of the constitutional regulation of the sphere of culture is the foundation for increasing the role of legislation on culture in the system of legislation of the state in general. Originality/value – the value of the conclusions lies in the substantiation of culture as a value protected by the state and enshrined in the constitution. On the other hand, depending on the form of state territorial structure, the concept of culture is fixed not only at the level of the national constitution, but also in federal states in the constituent acts of the constituent entities of the federation, and in unitary states with autonomous parts – in constitutions or other constituent acts of their autonomous parts.
