The impact of digital transformation on the constitutional and legal foundations of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The subject. The impact of digital transformation on the foundations of the constitutional system, namely the possibility of its influence on their form, content and implementation system, has been studied in this article. The authors put forward a hypothesis about the formation of the principle of the digital state, which underlies the interaction of society and the state in the conditions of building a digital economy in Russia. Active implementation of this principle was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the factors that can give an obvious and non-obvious impetus to the transformation of the constitutional identity of the foundations of the constitutional system are identified.The main functions of the constitutional principles are to preserve the stability of the foundations of the constitutional system and constitutional identity. We believe that modern legal science needs to comprehend the formation of new principles of interaction between society and public authorities, under the influence of digital technologies.
