Control and supervision in public administration: legal discourse

Introduction: A radical change in social relations, in accordance with the goals and principles of a democratic and law-based state, the renewal of legal norms, and the development of a fundamentally new system of state administration that meets the demands of legality, is impossible without proper organization and implementation of controls and supervision in state administration and society. The Constitution of Russia has been enacted to ensure rule of law, protect the rights, freedom, and legitimate interests of its citizens, and in all areas of society. Control and supervision are the main methods of ensuring legality and order in public administration. At the same time, these are the most significant functions of the government. Without the organization and implementation of these measures, the efficient operation of the state machinery, other government, municipal, and non-governmental structures becomes difficult, as any decision in public administration ultimately requires control over its implementation, or it will be meaningless. Control and oversight are factors that regulate the behavior of government officials and citizens, both in public administration and in society as a whole. This makes the activities of the government transparent to society and to intra-social relations.
