In scientific and theoretical terms, the relevance is determined by the relative novelty of this institution of constitutional law, which requires scientific understanding and application in the practical activities of public authorities. In practical terms, the study of this problem will make it possible to more clearly determine the presence (absence) of a constitutional tort when bringing a legal entity to constitutional responsibility. The purpose of the article is to attempt to address controversial issues of constitutional and legal responsibility in the Russian Federation. Unlike other publications on this topic, the theoretical and legal issues of legal and constitutional responsibility are analyzed. Materials and methods.
