Today, the concept of law and order is reproduced through close attention in the scientific literature. This integrated interest, first of all, requires a precise definition of this category in the theory of law, its detailed and comprehensive review and determination according to practical necessity. Law and order is a necessary condition for the functioning of all social services, the stabilization of sociopolitical processes and the formation of true democracy. Legal order is a complex formation, its research should be carried out using a system of methods. In this case, the analysis of law cannot be limited to the �legal method� developed by analytical jurisprudence, which consists of a dogmatic in nature qualification of legally significant situations. The study of the problem of law and order, their unambiguous interpretation is extremely important due to the fact that all without exception, the branch of legal sciences, within which various aspects of law and law enforcement process are studied with its provision. The legal culture of the population is manifested in respect laws, their knowledge, observance and implementation. It provides citizens with the ability to defend their rights and be accountable for their responsibilities. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that today there are virtually no scientifically sound mechanisms for automatic extrapolation of constitutional and legal knowledge into the content of legal norms. In view of this, it is necessary to scientifically comprehend and generalize the practice of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, which is the legal basis for developing mechanisms of constitutionalization. The modern interpretation of the rule of law is a combination of the provisions of the theory of legal positivism and the ideology of natural law. The legal order in the general context is considered, first of all, as a reflection of legal existence, one of the means of functioning and reproduction of the existing law. The phenomenon of constitutionalization is the most important means of ensuring the rule of law and is a characteristic (condition, requirement) of activities related to lawmaking, due to the formation of the domestic socio-normative system. It is expedient to consider the rule of law as a supra-sectoral (inter-sectoral) phenomenon that cements the leading branches of national law. The problems raised are quite complex, multifaceted and cannot be studied within a single scientific investigation and require further scientific research, which will result in new scientific knowledge about the rule of law and the process of its constitutionalization. The vast majority of these problems were outlined by the author of the article in a single monograph. However, the declared provisions may be the subject of new scientific discussions, contribute to qualitative changes in general theoretical jurisprudence and constitutional law, and thus be a guide in the constitutional, judicial and other reforms currently underway in Ukraine.
