Division
of the powers as principle state
device
to Russian empire XVIII-XIX vv.
To beginning XVIII age to old traditions ордынской and byzantine
estate, rich experience moscow единодержавия выкристаллизовались in
made forms of the absolutism. Aging
imperial Russia could not follow the classical recommendation Monteskie in sense, since she inveighed not for
principle of division of the powers, but for their единение and even full
merging, for absolute sovereign power of the emperor, comprising of itself and
legislative, and executive, and judicial authorities. However, in the opinion
of N.I. Cimbaeva, "absolutism is not reduced to individual authorities of
the monarch, and practice of state management Russian empire was an сложнее ". Address
to history experience of the Russian empire enables to reveal the real
mechanism of division of the powers, provided more firm operating the state
machine, understand the particularities to russian political thought.
In the opinion of S. Mndoyanca, the monarchy with
element class representation was arranged in Russia in medium XVII age already.
The Idea representation answered Zemskie and church cathedrals. Petrovskiy
political mode was alien and hostile idea of parliamentarianism.
The Particularity of the development of the principle
of division of the powers in Russia is her(its) основанность on wide-spread and well designed idea
english and french просветителей and
full absence of the attempts of the moving the theorized knowledges on russian
ground in practice. However existed the separate attempts certain
"breedings" authority of the different branches authorities. So,
under Petre I existed high законосовещательный organ
(but in absence reigning - and high legislative) - a Senate. At послепетровское time for change
Senate came the Sovereign privy council (with 1726), alongside with monarch
shown high legislative and executive organ; The Cabinet minister (with 1731),
realized executive and законосовещательные to
functions (with 1735 - legislative); The Cabinet her(its) majesty (1741),
Conference under the most High courtyard (1756), Imperial advice (1761), Advice
under the most High courtyard (1768).
In XVII-XVIII age attitude to division of the powers
was careful, or critical, ибо
bourgeoisie was VWVhave diarrhea to separate the power with gentry, and could
not raise an objection to autocracies.
In condition of the russian absolutism slogan division
of the powers did not contain the main idea - a mutual balance and restrictions
of the powers.
However, allegorized the thought about restriction
authorities autocrat, first of all gentry. The Prince M.SCHERBATOV has offered
to form at monarch, realizing high power, high representation - as electoral
institution with законосовещательными
function.
The Earl N.I. Panin has offered "to found the
political liberty for one gentry" first, raise his(its) role in country
management; create the institution sovereign authorities with legislative
function and create the дворянское home
rule on places. The Monarch belonged to executive power.
It is Enough finished, but far from perfective, has
gained the principle of division of the powers under Catherine II. So,
executive power was entrusted First department of the Senate, judicial - a
Second department, legislative - an Advice under the most High courtyard,
however, Catherine II saved the full control on activity all three
institutions. Then in strictly правовом sense
realization of the principle of division of the powers means the liquidation to
unlimited autocratic monarchy, the end of the absolutism.
The Public hopes and political disputes begin XIX v.
have revived the interest to teaching about division of the powers, which
general revenge became from this time to political theory and in small degree
has influenced on practical person of state management. In these years occurs
the formation of the early russian liberalism, and exactly at that time, and
for very short time, teaching about division of the powers attracted really public
attention, causing hardened disputes.
The most resolute outside division of the powers in
political элите begin
XIX age was a first minister state M.M. Speranskiy, which has developed the
mechanism of the realization of division of the powers for Russia and has
stated him(it) in "Introduction to Code of law of the state laws"
(1809). In its project M.M. Speranskiy more original interpreted division of
the powers. Legislative, executive and judicial authorities emerge beside it as
manifestation united "державной"
authorities. So emperor is "sovereign lawmaker" and "sovereign
beginning executive authorities", "sovereign охранителем justices".
He has shown that statement to hard legality is
inevitably connected with address to theories of division of the powers and
with more or less consequent undertaking recommendation to this theories in
state device and practical person of state governing the Russian empire.
Moreover, the conclusion inevitably results from his(its) discourses about that
that authentic division of the powers entails the restriction autocratic
authorities and that or other form of the constitutional institutions. The Main
idea Speranskogo consisted in need of the deep state transformations,
undertaking the reforms. For a long time, this standpoint separated and
Alexander I. Since the first months of its reign Alexander I developed the
projects of the reforms, where invariably was present the idea of division of
the powers. The Truth, neither Alexander I, nor his(its) nearest employee Speranskiy
had not a clear belief about depth and the sequences of the state reforms and
about that particularly, insofar compatible constitutional and legal principles
of the supposed transformations with tradition of management and political
culture to Russia.
Understanding importance of the proclamation of the
principle of division of the powers, Alexander I in 1810 created the State
advice, in "Institution" about which was spoken: "No law can be
not submitted for approval emperor aside from State advice". Other word,
speech went about organizations high
organ in Russian empire. Outwardly this organ as it were continued the
traditions of the high collective institutions XVIII age, but indeed his(its)
role was in principal other, since in his(its) competency did not enter the
questions executive authorities and proceedings. Activity of the State advice
was built on recommendation of the theories of division of the powers strictly.
Herewith, occupying important place in structure of the supreme authorities,
State advice only once in a while had an authentic influence upon state deals.
Thereby, experience XVIII - begin XIX vv. was
indicative of that that main by creative power in Russia was shown sovereign
power on behalf of high collective managament, connected in itself executive,
legislative and judicial authorities and having right of the autocratic
initiative on the most important state deals.
Preobrazovatelinye plans Alexander I, including
"State authorized грамоту
Russian empire", which was formed as preparing to acceptance russian
constitution, where was consecutively conducted principle of division of the
powers, were provided such institutes, as representative institutions, property
requirement, independence of the court and proceedings from administration,
freedom of speech, вероисповедания, seal,
inviolability to personalities, equality all before law. All this remained on
paper. "Authorized грамота"
contained even the most most important rate of the bourgeois right:
inviolability to property. But in russian reality was not that social power,
which, like french "third class", ready was at least support unless
realize these transformations.
Under absolute monarchy whole power was concentrated
in hand of the autocratic monarch, and speak of division of the powers does not
happen to. The Constitutional project M.M. Speranskogo expected the
determination to constitutional monarchy, introduction representative organ
overhand донизу, as
well as division of the powers. Moreover legislative power was expected bolt
for Derzhavnoy duma, executive - for monarch, judicial - for judicial system
with Senate at the head and with court juror. A Certain association authorities
was allowed on behalf of State advice. Their own constitutional projects were
and beside decembrist. Pesteli offered the project republican device with
division authorities on legislative, executive (together with judicial) and
"блюстительную"
(checking), as well as broad spreading public вече.
The Project to Constitutions Muraviyova provided the
constitutional monarchy, federative device, division of the powers on
legislative, executive and judicial, bicameral parliament. The Emperor
Alexander II has conducted judicial, town and земскую reforms. Practically, there were are
created united judicial system and local home rule. Besides, constitutional
project M.T. LORIS-Melikova expected the institution representative organ.
The Failure Alexander I became, aside from the other
aspect, and failure to theories of division of the powers on russian ground.
The Experience XVIII - begin XIX vv., as was it already spoken above,
experience of the Catherine II and Alexander I was indicative of that that
main, but timeses and single creative, creative power in Russia emerged the
sovereign power. Nor public masses, ignorant and it is enough passive, neither
that or other class groups, nor public opinion, nor army served the
counterweight "autocratic initiative".
On change political interest, typical of of time (the enlightened monarch,
constitution, republic, legal warranties, military revolution), gradually came
the social problems, particularly actively discussed in 40-60-e years XIX v. (the
peasant reform, relations class, local home rule, незыблемость judicial
determinations). Radically, the tuned populists denied need and usefulness of
the political reforms, in their doctrine not even rose the question about
division of the powers.
It Is Considered that Alexander II, not погибни he from hands народовольцев, possible, даровал country
constitutional rule. Can be, yes, but can and no. Nowhere near did not become
the constitutional monarch and Nikolay I. Having Signed its famous Edict
"About improvement of the state order", he really даровал some liberties,
has in particular declared about making the State duma, made limited
legislative authority. However hopes to public, naturally, were not justified.
Not one law could not take effect without the most High approval. Yes and
existence of the Duma itself depended on tsarist discretion or, more exactly,
arbitrariness.
With of time
theory division of the powers did not cause the interest beside russian public
as radical, so liberal and conservative directions.
In sphere of state management and high administration
before begin XX v. remained the unchangeable principles, bolted in "Code
of the laws", where existed the principle of division of the powers, but
he did not spread, of course, on prerogatives autocratic authorities.
Functional division of the powers, installed
"Code of the laws", contributed the certain order in
functioning(working) the state mechanism, relieved functioning(working) the
bureaucratic device, but it could not change the absence of the authentic
political system independent and mutually balancing branches state authorities.
Could Not it change and high collective managament, which was a powerful
creativity of the absolutism in XVIII v. Necessary to note, as in Russia, in
russian political thought concept division of the powers has gained the enemy.
A.GERCEN,
N.OGAREV, V.BELINSKIY, N.CHERNYSHEVSKIY criticized the theory of division of
the powers with the same position approximately, as Russo, confirming that
principle of division of the powers disagrees the principle of the public
sovereignty. Criticized the concept of division of the powers and conservatives
and liberals. So, the known stateA.GRADOVSKIY supposed that power indivisible
in the same way, either as state, and the whole fullness authorities in Russia
must behoove the monarch.
The Liberal lawyer N.VOROSHILOV voiced the idea that
term "division of the powers" unchancy, ибо "impossible
to create in state several equal and isolated powers, each of which will
"destroy" another. If and cost(stand)s to speak of division then
about division function authorities" , since nor one social group,
personality, party, in hand which is found power, are not interested in that to
weaken her(it), break on a parts. "One, cost(stand)s beside meat loaf
political authorities, is not biased to release from their own hands important
directions to state activity and deprive its authority of the significant share
of the influence upon state deals".
A.N. Korkunov offered to change the requirement of
division of the powers more total notion "совместность властвования". This notion must comprise of
itself at conservation unity sovereign authorities and division separate
function between independent organ and joint realization one and same functions
several organs.
"Joint властвование must comprise of itself at conservation
unity sovereign authorities not only division separate function between
independent organ, but also execution different function by one organ, but
different rather".
The Development to theories of division of the powers
in Russia was not a priority direction in development of the scientific
thought, however, separate steps in this direction were done.
So, G.F. SHershenevich as ways of the shaping legal
state indicates the idea a mastery right in management, guard by state only
subjective rights, отграничение
legislative and executive powers when approving as independent judicial
authorities. Herewith he transfers the following legal warranties against
arbitrariness state authorities: but) of the essential rights to personalities;
b) principle division of the powers; in) legal самоограничение authorities; g) subordination
state costing on him rule;govern. The Last two warranties are взаимоисключающими, about than was
spoken above. However in development SHershenevicha there is and positive
moments. In particular, here appears the representative base to state
organization, is since expected allow to complicity in legislation electoral
public elements. Besides, as real
warranty public opinion is identified against arbitrariness state. Given
position on modern stage currently, is since realized in practice, in lifes
modern society through mass media, way active action to public (the
mass-meetings, demonstrations and etc) etc.
The Theory V.M. Gessena also rests in legal
positivism. According to his(its) concepts, legal is identified the state,
which will acknowledge to be binding on itself as government, created by him,
as lawmaker, legal rates. The Analysis given wordings brings about the
following conclusion: legal, according to V. M. Gessenu, must be considered
state, where practically no division of the powers, since entailment and
executive ("as government"), and legislative ("as
lawmaker") authorities becomes the state. At, the scientist notices that
legislative power can be not limited by law that also introduces not quite
faithfull.
Subsequent to I. Edging, S.A. Kotlyarevskiy keeps the
ideas to mutual responsiblity state and personalities, warranty what is
division of the powers. The Main organ, providing real mutual responsiblity
state and personalities is a court, which must be constitutional, absolutely
independent from who that nor was and use the unquestioable confidence of folk.
N.I. Lazarevskiy, analysing principles constitutional
building, put on the first place division powers. But, probably, most packed
theory of division of the powers in domestic literature was revealled by other
prominent russian lawyer F.F. Kokoshkinym, which defined the participation of
folk in legislation and division of the powers as two the most most important
principles legal state. On our opinion, importance of the work F.F. Kokoshkina
is concluded in that that he tried to find "warranties" against
concentration authorities in hand government and parliament. De facto, the
speech went about system сдержек and
counterweight in parliamentary state. F.F. Kokoshkin has selected three
elements сдерживания
executive branch authorities: checking the representative organ for budget and
the number to armies, responsiblity minister and right judicial authorities to
check legality of the governmental dictations. In respect of legislative
authorities he has transferred four "warranties": 1) participation
chapters executive authorities in legislative process by means of absolute or ''veto", 2) presence two chambers, 3)
of the right of the people, 4) change to constitutions special rather. Turns on
itself attention absence in list of the most serious mechanism of сдерживания parliament - a
granting some from branches authorities right of his(its) dismissal. Probably,
in this has found its reflection a situation, established in Russia, connected
with prior dismissal first and second State dumas. Interesting also note that
F.F. Kokoshkin has not provided in its study no element сдерживания judicial
authorities, having indicated only principles of her(its) operation; the tenure
judge and court juror.
Inconsequence in realization of the principle of
division of the powers, extreme усложненность and embroilment in decision of the state
questions, typical of Russia period,
become one of the reasons of the failure реформаторской to activity P.A.STOLYPINA.
The Picture will become the полнее if take into
account that acted in Russia begin XX v. public groups and political parties
did not consider any important principle of division of the powers. The
Revolutionary parties did the rate on revolutionary dictatorship. The Program
liberal constitutional-democratic party considered that Russia must be
constitutional and parliamentary monarchy. The Cadet program, in formation which
took part seen russian lawyers, also did not contain the descriptions of the
mechanism of division of the powers.
The Theory of division of the powers has found their
own supporter and amongst seen russian scientist end XIX - begin XX vv. In
spite of differences glance and approach to matter in question, majority of
them reconverged in that that judicial power must be independent, independent
from the other branches authorities, but, collected together, they must form
the united state power. For works russian scientist typical detailed
development of the question judiciary and proceedings. Some positions have
practical importance and at our time.
The First russian Criminal- a Charter criminal proceedings - was accepted in 1864 Reactionary
контрреформа criminal legislation 70-h - 80-h years XIX v. in
Russia was expressed in extension authority to gendarmeries on investigation of
the political crimes, in exception of these deals, as well as deals about
crimeses against order of control from jurisdiction juror, in abolition in
majority губерний world
court with transfer their function police official.
The Charter criminal proceedings, having suffered row
of the change and additions, acted as a whole before October 1917 First
Decree-law revolutionary government to Russia about court, published November
24 1917, new local court was ordered follow in their own decisions and
condemnation law subverted government, "since such are not cancelled
revolution and does not disagree revolutionary shame and revolutionary правосознанию". Much rates
of the Charter criminal proceedings were reproduced in criminal-процессуальных code to Soviet
Russia 1922, 1923, 1960 gg. In the opinion of I.N. Cimbaeva, "history
experience to Russian Empire XVIII - XX vv. with the whole certainty is
indicative of conscious failure all active participant to political life (from
sovereign authorities before revolutionary subfield) from moving recommendation
to theories of division of the powers on russian ground". Follows to note
that Russia did not know nor authentic longing to division of the powers, in
the manner of abstract at least, scientific, theorized project, nor, more so,
mechanism to practical realization of the principle of division of the powers
in condition russian monarchist state.
