of citizens at a high level and guaranteeing their
constitutional rights and freedoms are of
particular importance.
"A high level of legal culture is a characteristic of
a legal state. It is an important task to increase
legal culture in the formation of a market
economy. At the same time, the level of legal
culture is determined by the level of execution of
the adopted laws. it is especially important to
cultivate a deep sense of respect for it. Because
legal norms live and come true only if they are
absorbed in the minds of people and act through
them."
Legal culture is a broad concept. Legal
consciousness is one of the most important
components of legal culture, which consists
primarily of views and beliefs that express
people's relationships, their ideas about law,
aspirations and feelings. The level of legal
consciousness determines the opinions and
moods of citizens regarding the adoption of new
laws, the activities of state bodies to apply the law
to protect the rights and interests of citizens, and
their attitude to the democratic and economic
changes taking place in our country.
Based on the ancient traditions, traditions,
language, religion, and spirit of our people, legal
culture serves to inculcate in our minds the
feelings of enlightenment and truth, such as
honesty and faith, justice and legality, high
respect and attention to people, and patience.
Therefore, it is a vital necessity to raise the legal
culture of people's opinion and worldview, which
is directed towards selfless work for our
independence.
All problems related to the theory of legal culture
should be thoroughly studied. At the same time, in
each specific case, one or another aspect of
culture, which is determined to understand
different manifestations, prevails. For example,
when it is approached from the point of view of
increasing the human factor in ensuring the
formation of enlightenment in legal life, it is
necessary to first of all pay attention to the
content of legal culture.
The legal culture of the society is seen as a type of
social culture in which the legal consciousness
reflects the improvement of laws and a certain
level of legal experience and covers all the wealth
created by mankind in the field of law. The
current state of development of the society and
the state requires comprehensive improvement
of the legal culture and legal literacy of all
participants of legal relations. Legal culture, legal
knowledge, legal beliefs and consistent practical
activities ensure the successful solution of the
tasks facing the society and the state.
Thus, the legal culture of the individual and the
society is an important result of the concepts of
universal human values and universal democratic
achievements of humanity. Legal culture is an
integral part of the legal state.
Legal consciousness is a right manifested in the
consciousness of a person, in the ideas of society.
Legal consciousness is a system of perceptions,
values, feelings and components of spirituality in
relation to law and legality.

Legal consciousness is a form of social
consciousness, and it is an attitude that shows the
totality of people's views, ideas, concepts,
evaluations, emotions, and desires towards legal
practice.
It also consists of requirements such as knowing
legal norms, being able to assess whether they are
appropriate
or
inappropriate
for
the
requirements of social life, making changes to
existing legal norms or realizing the need for their
further improvement. Legal awareness creates an
opportunity for the formation, development and
implementation of applicable legal norms.
As a type of social consciousness, legal
consciousness helps to understand reality, to
have an idea of the role of abstract elements such
as the state, law, legislation, politics, and ethics in
the field of social relations. At the same time, the
formation of legal consciousness is influenced by
the state, law, politics, the level of cultural
development, political parties, traditions,
national characteristics, and so on.
But the legal consciousness is based only on the
law, understanding the law does not give the
concept of imagining, interpreting, implementing,
and fulfilling it. It has a much broader meaning. It
also includes the concept of thinking about the
state system and the legal system.
Legal consciousness and legal culture have an
independent place in the mechanism of legal
influence. Without them, it will be impossible to
create a law and legally regulate social relations.
Legal consciousness is in the first place in the
mechanism of legal influence. The reason for this
is that the existence of the right is closely
connected with the person. The requirements of
social life cannot be expressed as legal norms
until they pass through the will and
consciousness of the people involved in the
implementation of law-making activities of state
bodies. At the same time, the influence of law on
social relations is carried out through the will and
consciousness of people. All this creates a set of
legal perceptions and feelings.
The content of legal norms in one or another
period, the nature of their impact on social life
depends on legal consciousness, which is the
ideological source of legal norms.
When legal consciousness is generalized to a
certain extent, its practical function does not end
with being the ideological source of legal norms.
Social ideas can have a negative impact on the
social life that gave rise to them: ideas that have
taken place in the minds of citizens become
material power. Social consciousness appears in
various forms and affects social life by means of
ideological and psychological influence on
people's behavior.
Therefore, the impact of legal consciousness does
not end with its being an ideological source of
legal norms: legal consciousness, certain legal
imaginations can motivate people to govern
themselves in a certain way.
It is the legal consciousness that appears as a
manager of people's behavior in cases where the
existence of certain legal norms is unknown to the
individual, but despite this, due to his high

awareness and knowledge of the spirit of the
laws, his behavior is consistent with the
applicable law.
It is known that legal consciousness consists of
two components, i.e. legal ideology and legal
mentality (psychology).
Legal ideology is views, concepts, beliefs,
concepts, theories about legal existence.
Legal ideology is a set of systematized knowledge
about concrete legal phenomena and at the
scientific level.
It represents the field of experiences that arise in
the mind and are absorbed into it in connection
with legal events. Legal psychology is the field of
emotional restoration of legal events. A person is
not a machine that does not think without feeling,
it is a living creature that not only thinks, but also
feels. Therefore, he understands social events,
including legal events, not only by reason, but also
by intuition.
The process of understanding legal phenomena
cannot develop without the participation of a
person, therefore, ideological and emotional
processes
are
naturally
combined
and
intertwined. According to his mental state, a
person cannot remain indifferent and indifferent
to the negative legal realities related to violation
of rights, illegality, oppression and discrimination
of human rights. His legal experiences and mood
are manifested in feelings of anger, rage and
dissatisfaction, creating an emotional basis for a
critical look at the negative events of social and
legal life, and creating a desire to reorganize a
person on the basis of humanitarian ideas.
The analysis of the structure of legal
consciousness, on the one hand, reveals the
nature of the interaction of its natural-structural
parts, such as legal ideology and legal mentality,
and on the other hand, helps to reveal its function
as a whole phenomenon in social life.
Legal consciousness is not only the reason for the
creation of legal norms and rules, but also
performs the task of creating a moral basis for
ensuring their implementation. It is an important
factor of legislative initiative, creation of law,
improvement of law, implementation of law and
strengthening of legislation. In the process of
creating a law, the expansion of the participation
of public organizations and the working public is
carried out under the active influence of legal
consciousness. Legal consciousness is influenced
by the current system of laws and the activities
and practices of law enforcement.
Raising the legal consciousness and legal culture
of citizens is an extremely important and urgent
problem in independent Uzbekistan, which is
boldly advancing on the path of building a legal
democratic state and forming a just civil society.
It goes without saying that the development and
prospects of our country, the success of the
economy, politics, state building, legal system,
and the spiritual transformation of society are
largely dependent on the level of legal awareness
and knowledge, as well as legal culture. obviously

that express the attitude of people both to the
existing law and to the right they themselves
want. It is in common with law and therefore
secondary to the existing economic relations.
Legal consciousness is the society's, It is formed
under the direct influence of the objectively
determined needs and interests of different social
groups, and is constantly developing under the
influence of changing objective conditions and
processes. Legal consciousness is part of social
consciousness, and therefore it is influenced by
philosophical, ideological and political views it's a
secret."
Changes in society, new laws being adopted,
discussion of drafts of new laws among the
general public, teaching and learning of
knowledge about law in all educational
institutions, schools, and exams in these subjects
are important for the development of legal
awareness. wide promotion and promotion of
legal knowledge in radio, television, periodical
press; regular publication of legal documents for
the purpose of independent study of legal
knowledge of the population; publicizing the
work experience of the court, prosecutor's office,
and police bodies; development of justice and
jurisprudence; ensuring transparency; study and
use the legal experience of other countries;
dissemination of legal knowledge in fiction and
art, we think, are factors of legal consciousness
development.
As long as a person lives in society, in the state,
the formation of his legal consciousness should be
connected with the existing legal criteria. It is
impossible to imagine the future of society
without legal culture. The role and importance of
the family, which is the foundation of society, is
incomparable in instilling in the hearts and bodies
of young people the first ideas and concepts about
decency, morality, legal law, and rules.
Being aware of the fundamentals of our laws has
a positive effect on the prevention of violations of
the law, even actions contrary to our morals, and
on the development of their legal consciousness
and culture among young people. Only young
people who know the laws well obey them. Such
a person can protect himself, his family, and his
country. Strict compliance with the requirements
of the law, high respect for our laws, that
everyone - president and ordinary citizen, men
and women, young and old, entrepreneurs and
officials are equal and responsible before the law,
no one has a special privilege in this matter. Deep
understanding of the absence of this value,
perfect instillation of this value in the mind is an
important quality for all young people.
Thus, legal consciousness, which is a component
of social consciousness, has a negative impact on
the development of society and the development
of social life. Legal ideas, knowledge and
imagination, legal theories penetrate into all
aspects of social life, take place in the minds of
citizens and have an ideological and psychological
impact on people's behavior and practical
activities. Legal consciousness encourages people
to manage themselves in a certain way, to operate
within the framework of laws and regulations
adopted by society.

The level of development of legal consciousness
and knowledge of people can be determined
depending on their socio-legal activity. The active
participation of members of society in socio-
political, economic, cultural and spiritual spheres,
in self-management bodies, indicates that the
level of legal consciousness and legal culture is
growing.
This is our first Komus adopted after
independence, which is considered to be our
mountain to support and help us to form a legal
culture of the individual and to understand this
problem more broadly. Because scientists-
experts of the countries that are the cradle of
world civilizations have read our encyclopedia
and have repeatedly emphasized that it
corresponds to the world model, and we know
that this "encyclopedia" is useful for a person.
In the process of forming the legal culture of an
individual, our individuals must follow a number
of rules.
First of all, the traditions, customs, and historical
heritage of our nation, which have been absorbed
into the minds of our people for centuries and are
still being absorbed, must be reflected in the
adopted and newly adopted laws and regulatory
documents.
Secondly, the participation of individuals
themselves as law creators and active
participants together with our legal scholars and
practitioners in the preparation and discussion of
all draft laws can have a positive effect.
Thirdly, the level of legal awareness and legal
culture of each person can be seen in their deep
respect for our community and our current laws,
and we need to teach them this, because when
such laws live, when everyone respects them,
when they are mentioned with respect. . The
formation of legal culture of every person is a very
necessary quality, and this quality is the support
of our state.
Because the supremacy of law in society is
strengthened by legal culture.
A person cannot form his legal culture without
being honest, honest, pure-hearted, and self-
demanding. Because each person independently
decides to a certain extent how to behave in
certain situations, whether to act in accordance
with or against the accepted law - rules, moral
norms, and evaluates his own character - actions.
Social conditions have a decisive influence on the
formation and improvement of the moral and
legal image of each person, including the morals.
Therefore, when a person steps into social life, he
faces not only ready-made certain social relations
and relations of development, but also the rules of
procedure related to state public organizations,
law, ethics, and customs.
It is known that the formation of a person's legal
culture and legal consciousness is influenced by
the surrounding social environment. Along with
mastering the existing worldview, customs,
manners and ethics, a person deals with specific
social events, behavior of people, violation of the
law or compliance with it, and behavior while

standing in a certain position and relying on
certain laws, and begins to evaluate.
In short, legal consciousness, like spiritual
consciousness and aesthetic views, is formed in
the course of a person's life practice. Not only to
have good laws that are in accordance with the
objective laws of social development, which
represent the will and interests of the people, but
also to have a whole system of guarantees for
their unconditional observance as follows: only
when there are economic, political, legal and
ideological guarantees. will be real. Ideological
guarantees are to educate citizens on the basis of
revival of national spirituality, to increase their
level of educational and cultural awareness. The
very nature of the laws of a developing
democratic society requires their voluntary and
unconditional compliance and enforcement.
