The rule of law, being a general legal principle, which has been developed in various legal concepts, including the British rule of law, the German rechtsstaat, the French etat de droit, at the present stage has become one of the fundamental constitutional and legal characteristics, both at the national and supranational level. National concepts of the rule of law, having certain differences and peculiarities, are essentially aimed at achieving similar goals. However, their substantive content is formed on the basis of existing features of specific national legal orders. One of the earliest and most developed in terms of constitutional and legal theory and practice is the UK approach to the rule of law. However, the question of its determining remains relevant at the present stage. The object is the concept of the rule of law developed in the UK, the subject is its specific features and manifestations, as well as approaches to its determination in British legal doctrine and practice. The purpose is to explore the issue of determination of the rule of law in the UK and to form a comprehensive approach to understanding its essence. The methodological basis of the research is constituted by 1) dialectical method, 2) general scientific methods including analysis, synthesis, comparison, analogy, deduction and induction, 3) special methods including logical, formal-legal, comparative-legal, and statistical methods. Based on the analysis the author makes an attempt to define the essence of the rule of law as an integral part of the UK constitution and its key features.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Исследуется сущность верховенства права как политико-правового принципа, положенного в основу конституции Великобритании, и подходов к его детерминации. Верховенство права, являясь общеправовым принципом, получившим развитие в различных правовых концепциях, в частности, британском rule of law, немецком rechtsstaat, французском etat de droit, на современном этапе приобрела значение одной из основополагающих конституционно-правовых характеристик, как на национальном, так и наднациональном уровне. Национальные концепции верховенства права, имея определенные различия и особенности генезиса, по своей сути направлены на достижение схожих целей обеспечения надлежащего правового режима законности, всеобщего равенства и ограничения произвольного осуществления публичной власти. При этом их содержательное наполнение формируется исходя из существующих особенностей конкретных национальных правопорядков - в их законодательном регулировании, судебной практике и правовой доктрине. Одним из наиболее ранних и разработанных с точки зрения конституционно-правовой теории и практики является подход к верховенству права в Великобритании. Однако вопрос определения его сущности сохраняет свою актуальность и на современном этапе. Объект исследования составляет концепция верховенства права, получившая развитие в Великобритании, предмет - ее характерные особенности и проявления, а также подходы к ее детерминации, сложившиеся в британской правовой доктрине и практике. Цель - исследование проблемы детерминации верховенства права в Великобритании и формирование комплексного подхода к пониманию его сущности. Методологическую основу исследования составляют: 1) диалектический метод, относящийся к общефилософским, 2) общенаучные методы - анализ, синтез, сравнение, аналогия, дедукция и индукция, 3) специальные методы - логический, формально-юридический, сравнительно-правовой, статистический методы. На основании проведенного анализа автор принимает попытку определить сущность верховенства права как неотъемлемой части конституции Великобритании, и его ключевые аспекты.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>rule of law</kwd><kwd>the UK constitution</kwd><kwd>common law</kwd><kwd>public authority</kwd><kwd>principle of legality</kwd><kwd>principle of equality</kwd><kwd>human rights and freedoms</kwd><kwd>independence of the judiciary</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>верховенство права</kwd><kwd>конституция Великобритании</kwd><kwd>общее право</kwd><kwd>публичная власть</kwd><kwd>принцип законности</kwd><kwd>принцип равенства</kwd><kwd>права и свободы человека</kwd><kwd>независимость судебной власти</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Aristotle (2009) The politics of Aristotle: a treatise on government.
