The article explores the issue on the perception of the concept "national security" areas, models and methods of its maintenance by the population. The author uses materials of the sociological survey conducted by the Laboratory of problems of increasing the efficiency of state and municipal management of the South-Russian Institute of Management - branch of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. The survey was carried out with the participation of leading experts in various aspects of national security, representing 27 Russian higher educational institutions and research centers in Moscow, Astrakhan, Barnaul, Belgorod, Dushanbe, Krasnodar, Nizhny Novgorod, Omsk, Pyatigorsk, Rostov-on-Don, Saint Petersburg, Syktyvkar, Sochi, Ufa. It is noted that as a priority political governance model that implements the basic concept of national security, respondents identified a democratic model. Most respondents believe that a unified security model in the Russian regions is ineffective, and such model should be developed taking into account the specificity of each subject. The study showed that the public's attention to the issue of national security is not sustainable, as determined by situational factors. It is proved that the motives of anxiety formed in the Russian public mind are not sustainable, and situational. Respondents see the economic cooperation more effective incentive to maintain national interests than by force. Estimation of the population of the priority issues of security shows that most respondents appreciate the organization of work to ensure the safety and anti-terrorism security in the sphere of national relations. The findings give grounds to assert that the focus of public attention to the problem of national security does not yet occupy the leading positions. To a greater extent, respondents focused on the issues of public safety, reducing threats and risks in their daily lives. Apparently, despite the external and internal attempts by certain forces to escalate the symptoms of military threats, economic and political instability, the state authorities have managed to maintain a stable situation on the ground and to instill confidence in the stability of the government itself. However, assessments of respondents showing pain points (as discussed above), on which the regional and federal authorities and the public should focus their attention. This should avoid focusing on minor topics objects, eliminate switching public attention on themes and subjects that do not require a real public outcry and do not carry the real threats to the individual, society and state. Thus, the problem of improving the state policy in the sphere of security exists objectively, and its resolution should be ensured not only by the professional power sector, deputies and representatives of the executive power, but also qualified experts from civil society and scientific environment.

This message is devoted to the memory of the respected professor of the Department of Constitutional and Municipal Law August Alekseevich Mishin, his approaches to the study of law. These approaches helped students and colleagues to find key factors in assessing trends in the development of constitutionalism in foreign countries, to find shortcomings and assess the merits. On this basis, a message was made and a legal analysis of the approaches and decisions of the Supreme Court of the state was carried out. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin and the Supreme Court of United States in the case of Johnson v. Wisconsin Elections Commission on changing the map of electoral districts due to the fact that the executive branch presented by the governor from the Democratic Party and the representatives of the state legislature dominated by Republicans could not agree on this issue. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that there are no clear standards for the American courts to conduct a comprehensive analysis of all circumstances due to the pressure exerted by those who form the American doctrine of constitutionalism. Thanks to the scientific report, it is possible to take a closer look at the process of involving the courts in political activities, the place of the court in the system of separation of powers and the conditions for the interaction of the court with other branches of power from the point of view of constitutional law.
