metadata.value: The article considers the risks of amendments to the basic law of the state, which are associated
  with the inability to accurately predict political and managerial problems arising in the new
  constitutional context. An analysis is conducted of the changes in constitutions as the basis of
  the political, economic, and social life of the societies that are bifurcation points from which development
  can proceed in various directions. This creates risks at the stages of formation and
  functioning of complex public systems of authority, whose work greatly influences the creation
  of an optimal quality of life as the criterion of the basic goal of a modern democratic state. The
  analysis is comprised of factors that affect the reduction or levelling of such risks or increase the
  possible of their occurrence. A developed democratic political culture and a high degree of public
  readiness for radical changes in the foundations of the political system (for example, France
  after World War II) are identified as factors that positively affect the state system, and excessive
  haste in decision making and lack of broad public fundamental changes discussion (for example,
  Germany in the early 90-ies of the last century) are identified as factors that negatively affect the
  social integration of society and the achievement of uniformity in the quality of life on the territory
  of the state. Both examples demonstrate in the Russian context the need to balance state policy
  in the process of implementing political decisions that led to amendments to the Constitution of
  the Russian Federation in 2020.
