Constitutional Values in The Modern Information Society

The article dwells on important aspects of the development of the modern information society in the context of implementation of constitutional values. The recognition of a person, his rights and freedoms as the highest value of a democratic state acts as a condition for the development of a legal system focused on ensuring freedom of information. This aspect of the information society implies not only free dissemination of information, but also the openness and transparency of the public administration system transformed under the influence of information and communication technologies. Constitutional values act as an axiological basis for the legal development of the state, contributing to the improvement of public administration and realization of fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual. Based on the analysis of the value apparatus of the constitutional law, the conclusion is made about freedom of information as an integral condition for the development of civil society. Current trends in the development of modern society are distinguished, first of all, by the increasing importance of the process of digitalization and informatization of various aspects of human social life. The information sphere is becoming the most important resource of power and management; information technologies are increasingly being introduced not only into all spheres of public administration, but also into the spheres of life of the whole society, and the state should stimulate such processes.
