Social Determination of Law as a Condition of Its Effectiveness

The article deals with the social nature of law and order. It is emphasized that a full and comprehensive study of this phenomenon is impossible outside of social relations. It is noted that any legal system inevitably faces a complex problem: it should meet, on the one hand, the requirements of stability, and on the other - the inevitability of changes. Law exists in the flow of social life; it is a tool guiding social development and change society. As a guide to behavior, it is formed on the basis of sociologically established and verified constant and variable factors of social reality. Law is constantly increasing the sphere of social influence; therefore, there are more requirements to legal regulation. However, law performs its function as a regulator of social relations, when it is performed in reality. The life of norms of law is not only and not so much in their presence, existence, as in the functioning, implementation. The purpose, effectiveness and efficiency of law lie in the movement of law from possibility to reality, in the implementation of legal requirements in the actual actions and deeds of people. In this regard, it is important not only to assert the unity of law and society, but also, respectively, the call for constant correction of written law in accordance with changes in the social structure
