Abstract
Background. The article examines the issue of constitutional and legal protection of the rights and freedoms of minors, including the mechanisms for protecting these rights and freedoms and the conditions created by the state for the implementation of such protection. The relevance of the research topic is due to the problematic aspects of state control over the observance of constitutional and legal protection of the rights and freedoms of minors, which include the improper fulfilment of duties by the legal representatives (parents) of minors in terms of raising their children, and the lack of additional state measures to improve the mechanism for protecting the rights and freedoms of minors. The author's goal is to research and conduct a comparative analysis of the constitutional rights and freedoms of minors and the sufficiency of legislative measures to protect the personal rights and freedoms of minors, including the scope of legally established responsibilities of legal representatives of minors. Materials and methods. The solution of research tasks was achieved through the analysis of legal norms on ensuring the rights and freedoms of minors, which are contained in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Family Code of the Russian Federation. A comparative legal analysis of these sources allows us to determine the specifics of the institution of minors' rights in terms of their constitutional and legal provision, as well as to identify possible mechanisms for improving and protecting these rights. Results. The article explores the issues of ensuring and protecting the rights and freedoms of minors from the perspective of their constitutional and legal significance. It analyzes the legal norms governing the observance of the rights and freedoms of minors by their legal representatives, particularly the norms governing the obligations of legal representatives (parents) to provide proper upbringing for minors (children). The article also examines the relevance of these legal norms in the field of protecting the rights and freedoms of minors. Conclusions. The existence of constitutional and legal provisions on the rights and freedoms of minors, which primarily identify the sovereignty of the corresponding rights and freedoms granted to everyone from birth, cannot serve as a guarantee of their proper implementation. In other words, the protection of the rights and freedoms of minors cannot be ensured solely by reference to this in the main legal act of the state. The protection of the personal rights and freedoms of minors, based on their constitutional and legal status, is directly related to the appropriate observance of the norms by legal representatives that provide for the proper upbringing and maintenance of their children, as well as to the possible improvement of state methods for protecting the rights and freedoms of minors.
