Abstract
The article examines the problems of legality and its various interpretations in the history of modern political and legal thought in the countries of the Anglo-Saxon legal tradition. There are significant differences in the variety of different approaches to understanding the role of law, the legislation and legality in various national legal traditions. The problem of legality in the conditions of socialism was determined by certain obligatory ideological prerequisites, from the standpoint of which it was given the formal meaning of a legal regime. In the Anglo-Saxon legal area, interpretations that formalize the watershed between common law and so-called statutory law, i. e. acts adopted by legislative authorities, are widespread and still insufficiently mastered in a number of respects. For Anglo-Saxon law and related legal thought, the issue of legality is becoming increasingly relevant today in terms of the protection of rights and freedoms, as a condition for the inadmissibility of reducing the levels of legal protection and security guaranteed by common law. Understanding legality in this tradition means, first of all, analyzing the logic of judicial interpretation and attempts to build legal knowledge around and based on anthropological approaches. The idea and principle of legality in the context of the Anglo-Saxon legal tradition reveal a number of significant limitations related to understanding the role of law and rational legal construction in social practice.
