IP means ways to consolidate and express legal norms.

Distinguish the following types of IP: legal custom, judicial precedent, regulatory legal act, normative treaty.

The legal custom is understood as a custom sanctioned by the state. The state recognizes that rule, which has already been established independently of the state, and gives this rule a binding force.

Another IP is a judicial precedent. It is a decision of a court (usually a superior) in a particular case, which is given binding force in respect of all similar (similar) cases that arose after that decision. The court here acts as a law-making body that creates norms of law.

The normative legal act is an act of lawmaking, which contains the rules of law. He is the main IP in our country.

Regulatory acts, depending on which body they have been adopted and which legal power they possess, are divided into laws and by-laws. The law is an act adopted in a special way by the supreme body of legislative (representative) power (parliament) or people (in a referendum) and having the highest legal force. By-laws can detail and specify the norms of laws.

Laws are divided into the following types:

1) the basic laws of the state (the Constitution, which has the highest legal force and is the basis for all other laws, the constitution of the republics within the Russian Federation);

2) federal laws are divided into two types:

A) constitutional;

B) ordinary (current).

The first laws include those laws that are adopted on issues directly specified in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Ordinary are called federal laws, which are adopted on the basis of and in compliance with the Constitution and constitutional laws. They regulate various aspects of economic,

Social, political and cultural life of the country;

3) the laws adopted by the legislative bodies of the subjects of the Russian Federation should not contradict federal laws adopted in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

To subordinate legal acts on the level of the Federation are:

1) resolutions adopted by the chambers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation - the State Duma and the Federation Council;

2) regulatory decrees of the President of the Russian Federation. These include only those decrees that contain general rules of conduct (that is, the rule of law);

3) resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation regulating relations in various branches of public and state life;

4) regulatory orders and instructions of ministries, state committees and other federal agencies.

As an IP in the Russian Federation, a normative treaty is also used.

Sources of international law are international treaties.

IP is also a federal treaty, signed by the subjects of the Russian Federation in 1992, in which

The division of powers and powers between federal bodies of state power and authorities of the subjects of the Federation was carried out.
