The constitutional-legal framework for regulating the social status of state duma

Abstract

This article explores the constitutional-legal framework for regulating the social status of deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. The article's aim is to define the legal nature of the deputy's material status and establish a uniform stance for opinions and legislative settings in respect of the status of high-ranking officials in the Russian Federation. The author's study into the legal regulation of the social status of high-ranking government officials reveals a mismatch between the theoretical and legislative fundamentals of regulating the legal status of State Duma deputies. The author suggests fine-tuning the fundamentals of the social status of State Duma deputies in corresponding conjunction with constitutional-legal norms. In particular, to remediate said discrepancies in legislation, the author suggests making amendments to the Federal Law "On the Status of Members of the Federation Council and the Status of Deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation".
