Abstract

The article discusses the concept, essence and main approaches to legal understanding of constitutional values. The importance of constitutional values for the formation of a system of human rights and freedoms, as well as the responsibilities of the state to ensure their implementation are noted. The conclusion is made about the insufficient quantitative and qualitative content of the concept of constitutional values due to the fact that there is a relationship between the constitutional values and the evolutionary development of society and the state, where the second affects the first and vice versa. In particular, we are talking about protecting the rights of persons with cognitive disabilities. At the general constitutional level, there are no norms reflecting the value of the significance of this category of the population. As a result, there is a problem with the possibility of exercising their rights at the sectoral level, in particular, in the field of criminal proceedings.
