Bekishieva S.R. Historical progression of the idea of rule of law

Abstract: The object of this research is the concept of the rule of law that attained development in foreign practice throughout the four centuries. The “rule of law” idea emerged within the framework of English legal tradition, and with occurrence of the concept of legal state, has been gaining its momentum in other countries. Currently, the rule of law is considered as the fundamental principle of legal state. At the same time, the level of the institutional realization of this principle is the universal indicator of legal state. Despite the brief history of development of the concept of rule of law in Russia, there has emerged the pressing need for re-orientation of the Russian public and professional legal consciousness towards the rule of law and human. The scientific novelty consists in examination of the history of development of the idea and principle of rule of law in foreign science and practice over the four centuries, various interpretations of the notion of “rule of law” and its consistent essence, as well as analysis of the issues regarding the implementation of the principle of rule of law in modern Russia.
