metadata.value: The concept of “political rights” of a person and a citizen, widely used today, is in fact far from
  certain, both in terms of the specific rights that it is generally customary to include in its content
  and in terms of the specific powers that would constitute the content of these rights. In
  this regard, this article analyses political rights themselves, which the author finds necessary
  to distinguish from human rights in the socio-political sphere. The latter include freedom of
  assembly, the right to petition, freedom of speech, the right to unite, etc. Considerable attention
  is paid to the substantive characteristics of political rights: thus, the author concludes that
  “participation in state affairs” although it is named as a right in the Constitution of the Russian
  Federation, cannot claim the role of real and current subjective public law. Transformations of
  classical political rights ensuring the participation of citizens in power in modern political and
  legal discourse are analyzed. The problematic aspects of the concept of national representation
  and constituent power are considered. The author concludes that even with the most adequate
  and authentic mechanisms for the exercise of the right to popular representation, such power
  never belongs fully to the people. The article justifies that the natural political right is the
  right to revolt (“the right to resistance”, “the right to revolution”). The natural political right
  of the people “to revolt” acquires the characteristic of precisely “right”, and not a bare political
  opportunity only if there are institutions of legitimization and subsequent legalization. As a
  result, the right at the present stage would be better described as the right to a legitimate rule
  of law.
