STATE BORDER AS A MEANS OF ENSURING THE EXISTENCE OF SOCIETY AND STATE

Abstract

Introduction. The article considers the issue of the state border as one of the elements that ensures the existence of society and the state. Today, the issue of the state border is quite important not only from the point of view of preserving the sovereignty of the state, but also from the theoretical essence. The border acts as a means of authenticity, unification, determination of the spheres of action of government bodies, state institutions, the sphere of action of law, security guarantees, etc. That is, it is it that determines the boundaries of the existence of all elements belonging to the state. Then the question arises of determining the essence of the state border as a means of ensuring the existence of society and the state.

Summary of the main research results. For the study of the specified topic, the main components that determine the composition of the subject of the study were considered. Namely, the issue of society, the state and the borders of the state, which is the main element of this phenomenon, was considered. It was determined that society is a set of people living in a common territory and connected by common interests. The state is defined as a political and territorial organization of society in a specific territory, where the legal system operates, there are authorities, a taxation system, an army, as well as optional elements such as: a flag, a coat of arms, an anthem, a currency, a language. The state border acts as a unifying element of society and the state, as well as a feature that guarantees the unity of the existence of members of society in a certain territory and the sphere of distribution of power of state bodies, the legal system.

Conclusions. Having studied scientific views and analyzed the results obtained, the connection of the state border with the key components of the study was established, namely society and the state. It was determined that society is a primary phenomenon that determines the emergence of the state, as a means of organizing its members and managing them. Law acts as a means of influencing the state on society by regulating social relations. The state border is the main element of the state phenomenon that determines the boundaries of the existence of the state in which society lives (i.e. it also determines the boundaries of the existence of society) and the scope of law, which itself acts as a means of ensuring the existence of society and the state.
