Modification of constitutional mechanisms for ensuring stability in the state in the context of the transformation of modern constitutionalism.

In the context of increasing global instability and accelerating processes of transformation of political and legal systems, the question of maintaining state stability through the lens of modernization of constitutional mechanisms has become particularly pressing. Constitutional systems, which traditionally served as stabilizing frameworks of state power, are increasingly facing challenges brought about not only by internal socio-political contradictions but also by external transnational factors. Contemporary constitutionalism, undergoing qualitative changes, is encountering challenges arising from the hybridization of forms of government, the strengthening of executive power, and changes in the nature of political legitimacy. The subject of this study is modified forms of constitutional mechanisms aimed at ensuring state stability in a changing normative and institutional environment. Special attention is paid to the institutional, normative, and functional aspects of the transformation of constitutional stability. The analysis covers both general patterns and the peculiarities of individual legal systems that demonstrate alternative models of stability. The methodology of the research is based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines doctrinal analysis, a comparative legal method, and elements of political and legal hermeneutics. The emphasis is placed on identifying stable trends and varied forms of modernization by comparing constitutional practices of different states. The novelty of the study lies in revealing the hidden mechanisms of adaptation of constitutional governance to the changing conditions of socio-political existence. The author proposes a conceptual distinction between formal stability and functional resilience, highlighting the non-linearity of these processes. The work substantiates that the modification of constitutional mechanisms is not merely a reaction to challenges but a form of institutional evolution, linked to a change in the paradigm of constitutionalism. It concludes that hybrid models of stability are being formed, combining elements of traditional and innovative solutions. Alongside this, the significance of political adaptability is increasing as the ability of legal and institutional systems to respond to challenges without undermining the legitimate basis of power. Political adaptability implies not only the flexibility of norms but also the capacity of institutions for internal restructuring, maintaining functionality in times of crisis, and incorporating new actors and meanings into the legal framework.
