Any branch of law, private or public, has a system of sources of law, which is somewhat standard. This system became "set in stone" for many law systems around the world, starting with Constituion, legal acts of goverment and ending with brief overview of legal traditions in some branches of law. However, this system completely forgets about legal doctrine. But after legislation took over, legal doctrine lost meaning which it had before and was cast aside into shadow of legislation and basic system of sources of law. Furthermore, legal doctrine was an instrument which provided unity for any law system. The idea in its core is simple – greatest and most known legal works of different authors became rulebooks for diffenret branches of law, which were used not only for education, but as a source of law to resolve dispute, when there was missing link in legislation and when judge cannot settle dispute using law of state. This is the case, when doctrine was used as a source of law and a source for regulation. Same can be said about legal doctrine, as core for any law, passed by a parliament. In ideal case, scientists and authors of legal dontrine works should consult lawmakers regarding theoretical and doctrinal basis of any decision or action they are planning to take. So, any legal action will have strong core in it and won't be decided only on experience and opinions of lawmakers, but also with strong theoretical background for such decision. In conclusion, we think that legal doctrine requires further analysis and this topic is very important for legal studies in Ukraine. Core of legal doctrinal works becomes bigger and bigger with increasing number of scholars in this sector of science. From the nature of legal doctrine, it is clear that it can provide better understanding of law and improve connection between scientists and lawmakers.

The need for further improvement of constitutional and legal regulation of the most important social relations as a key direction of legal modernization of social relations in a modern democratic state based on the fundamental foundations of European constitutionalism is underlined. At the same time, at the doctrinal level, there is no doubt that the Constitution of Ukraine has a certain degree of almost all the well-known features of the world, in particular, the European, constitutions. Summarizing the above, we consider it necessary to highlight the following main formal and legal features of the Constitution of Ukraine, which is the fundamental ground for modern constitutional and legal reform in our state: 1) a special subject accepting (people's character); 2) the fundamental (institutional) nature; 3) stability is coupled with dynamism; 4) reality; 5) formal and legal properties: the Constitution – the Fundamental Law of Ukraine; its highest legal force; Constitution – the legal base of legislation; A special procedure for making and amending; Special content and structure of the Constitution; Direct effect of its norms. This list is not exhaustive, but in our opinion, it is optimal for defining the main tasks and principles of constitutional and legal reform in the current conditions of legal globalization and European interstate integration. Thus, with the improvement of the Constitution of Ukraine as the main source of constitutional law of Ukraine, it is necessary to focus not only on the modernization of certain institutions that regulate it, but also on the strengthening of its legal properties in general.
