Political Rights and Freedoms

Political rights and freedoms of citizens - a group of constitutional freedoms and rights belonging to citizens of any country, giving them the opportunity to participate in political as well as public life of the country.

They are directly related to citizenship, but this does not mean that political rights and human freedoms must be recognized as the grace of the state. They are just as natural as personal freedoms and rights. The state only fixes them. The basis of this group of freedoms and rights is that the Constitution of our country calls the people a single source of power. On this provision, the entire constitutional system of the Russian Federation is being built .

Political Rights and Freedoms

Citizens, of course, have the right to contribute to the governance of the state. They can do this indirectly or directly. Indirectly - through persons elected to the authorities directly - directly, that is through referendums, gatherings and so on. All citizens of the Russian Federation have equal chances when entering the civil service.

Political rights and freedoms include the right to any association. It's about freedom of association and alliances. It should be noted that the association is possible only within the framework of the current legislation. Public associations are not controlled by the state, it has no right to interfere in their affairs. The most attention should be given to such public associations as political parties. They directly participate in election campaigns, they have the opportunity to take part in solving state-level problems. Today, tough demands are being made on political parties. This means that the opening of new public associations of a similar type is difficult.

Political rights and freedoms include the right to rallies and meetings. In fact, citizens of the country have the right to express their opinions, holding pickets, meetings, rallies, demonstrations and so on. Under the freedom of assembly it is understood that it is possible to assemble in any closed premises to discuss and resolve certain issues or to take the necessary actions. Access and rules for participation in the meeting are determined only by the founders. The state has no right to prevent people from holding meetings. Of course, it's only about cases when they do not discuss plans for a social coup and so on.

Rallies are held outside the premises. They have a place to be public speaking. Demonstrations are held on certain routes. Information to citizens is not brought out by shouting from the rostrum, but by means of posters and banners.

Picketing - standing or moving with posters.

These political rights and freedoms today seem very, very doubtful. The state is doing its utmost to preserve its power and not let the masses understand that its policy is not aimed at improving the life of the people. Practically everything is necessary to receive special permits. Holding, for example, an unauthorized demonstration will entail legal liability. The fines that can be obtained for the "illegal" implementation of their rights are great today.

Citizens of the Russian Federation have the right not only to choose, but also to be elected. It is an active and passive electoral right. These rights appear from a certain age and under certain conditions (legal capacity and so on). Together they are components of political personality.

Political rights and freedoms in themselves include the right of access. Appeals are sent to public authorities or officials. They, as a rule, contain a requirement to clarify a particular state of affairs.
