Annotation.

In this article, the author considers the state as a legal value in two aspects. First, the state itself is a legal category. By its nature and content, the state cannot arise, operate and develop without law. Secondly, the state is inextricably linked with positive law, and this is expressed in two ways: first, the state is the main lawmaker, and secondly, the state exercises its functional powers through law. Therefore, the State embodies and represents a legal value. The legal value of the state is not only in the fact that it is inextricably linked to the law, but also in the fact that the state itself has legal content, that is, the state was formed on legal bases and acts in accordance with the principles and norms of law. In this sense, it can be said that the state appears and exists as a fact of life, which is determined by the characteristics and necessity of conscious and material life activity of people.The state as a fact of life is the result of the given norm, the state is the norm itself in its factual, empirical expression.

The normative system arising from the state is a manifestation of its will, which is aimed at subordinating all subjects of public life. The regime of power requires stability, which is ensured by law.
