Communicative Opportunities for Political Participation in the Constitutional Modernization Mechanism: Retrospective Aspects and Improvement Prospects

Abstract

In this paper considers the problems of ensuring democratic participation in the process of constitutional reforms. It is shown that the possibilities of constitutional communication are limited to the discussion by citizens of constitutional projects already submitted by public authorities. There is a need to involve citizens in the process of making constitutional and legal decisions through proactive participation, involving not only discussion of the proposed changes, but also the introduction of their own constitutional projects.
