The main elements of the mechanism of functioning of human will and the will of society in the state-legal sphere

Introduction: this paper continues a cycle of publications devoted to the study into the phenomenon of will, its essence, role, and meaning in jurisprudence and other fields of theory and practice of human activity. Currently, despite its fundamental importance for the general theory of law, as well as for jurisprudence as a whole, the category of will remains very little studied. This situation testifies to the presence of a serious methodological gap, causing a number of contradictions and defects both at the level of the general theory of law and at the level of branch-specific and applied legal sciences.
