Abstract
The information flow of research results in the form of scientific works on the development and changes of the modern legal system is increasing exponentially. At the same time, the focus on the visible aspects of the indicated topic reveals the ambiguity of scientific views. An attempt to analyze the relationship and balance of public and private interests reveals the complexity of legal regulation of public relations. The traditional foundations of the differentiation of norms according to the usual types of legal relations are losing their obviousness. This scientific research indicates that the generally accepted grounds for dividing legal norms into institutes, sub-sectors, and branches require rethinking today, and first of all, this is due to the increasing role of the state and its active involvement at all levels of functioning of the national legal system. The integration of the political and legal will of a public entity and its influence on the legal system demonstrates its subjective aspect to a greater extent than its objective one. On the one hand, the state pursues good intentions: to protect the weaker party in legal relations, to maintain a balance of interests of the parties, providing state guarantees of the rights and legitimate interests of a person and a citizen. On the other hand, this leads to an overregulated public control of public relations. In the presented scientific discourse, the focus is on the fact that the suppression of objective prerequisites for the formation of a legal system leads to an imbalance with the legislative system. As a result, in the legal doctrine, there is a substitution of concepts, meanings, and categories of scientific theories of the legal system and the legislative system. Confirmation of this conclusion is seen in the absence of clear boundaries of the typification of social relations, which are the key to the independence of the branch of law. The subject and method today are not a single standard for sectoral and intra-sectoral division of legal norms, since they are more of a constructive and doctrinal nature, therefore, in practice, they also resort to other elements: principles, subject composition, protection mechanism, etc.
