- Annotation: This article addresses and examines one of the most complex issues in state-legal and historical-legal science: political and historical types of state, their classification, and its criteria. An attempt is made to determine the historical type of state in which we live today, where we aspire, and what kind of state can be considered the state of the future. To achieve this goal, various well-known types of states were analysed: welfare, democratic, social democratic, liberal democratic, legal, socially oriented, «real state,» and others. The historical type of state to which they belong is determined.
- Keywords: historical type of state, classification, capitalism, socialism, future state, politics, law, society, legal regulation, moral state, modernisation.
