On a heuristic viewpoint concerning the similarity of direct constitutional and administrative judicial compliance assessment

As a result of the unified essence of regulatory affairs as a logical operation for comparing the meaning of several normative legal acts, disagreements have yet to cease about whether it is possible to realize normal and constitutional direct regulation according to unified rules for administrative legal proceedings. There is a difference of the subject of legal action within the framework of the named types of direct regulation that are mainly seen in the method with the help of which they are realized. These differences define the main legal-procedural characteristics of direct constitutional regulation, among which is (1) the need to consider a case by the court in a wide collegial bench of judges that are equal to each other, (2) the subsidiary character of constitutional legal proceedings for this category of cases, and (3) the need to appeal the decision of the court. These create specific characteristics for legal proceedings for constitutional justice, specifically: the need to introduce special requirements for candidates for judgeships and guarantees for the status of judges presiding in constitutional legal proceedings, and empowering the court apparatus with quasi-judicial functions. These differences in the subject of legal action prove that there are no dogmatic, political, or legal grounds for conclusions regarding the principal similarities between constitutional and general direct regulation and on the possibility for general jurisdiction courts to perform constitutional regulation.
