摘要:This article is devoted to the constitutional analysis of the institution of a legal prohibition on the abuse of civil and political rights in the exercise of the right to public control. We affirm that comprehension of the constitutional-legal mechanism of public control will ensure the achievement of an actual balance of constitutional values in the process of organizing and implementing this institution of civil society. A research of the institution of a legal prohibition on the abuse of civil-political rights when exercising the right to public control in Russia revealed the need for its institutionalization in the current federal legislation with a detailed definition of the conditions and limits of use in order to ensure full protection of constitutional rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of all participants in public control events, as well as preventing the creation of obstacles to the implementation of the constitutional principles of democracy and the participation of citizens of the Russian Federation in the management of state affairs, which are ensured by the institution of public control.
