Abstract

 The article discusses the role of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, adopted on August 30, 1995 at a republican referendum, as amended by laws of October 7, 1998, May 21, 2007, February 2, 2011, and March 10, 2017. , dated March 23, 2019, in the formation of a modern civil society of the Republic of Kazakhstan. A comparative analysis of its norms is carried out with the provisions enshrined in the “Fundamentals of the Constitutional System” section of the first Constitution of the country of January 28, 1993. It is concluded that, despite the absence of such a section in the current Constitution, all basic provisions regarding the foundations of the constitutional system, not only preserved in the Basic Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated August 30, 1995, but also creatively revised, specified and supplemented by new provisions. Commenting on Article 4 of the Constitution, the authors express an opinion on the fallacy of the position of attributing normative resolutions of the Constitutional Council and the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan to normative legal acts. This conclusion is justified by the provisions of the Constitution itself and the norms of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated April 6, 2016 “On legal acts”. The role of the National Council of Public Confidence under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NSOD), which includes authoritative public figures and human rights defenders, in strengthening and developing a constructive dialogue between citizens and the state is noted. Taking into account current trends and tasks, the need for further development and strengthening of civil society institutions in the country, strengthening mutual control by the state and society over the processes taking place in the country is indicated.
