Abstract

The Constitution is the main law of our country. The constitution must reflect the right to property and guarantee the inviolability of the property of a person and a citizen. These guarantees, in turn, should be clearly valid and enforceable, and should not be subject to varying interpretations by the implementers. It is these guarantees that increase the trust of a person and citizens in the constitution, laws, and the state. Property rights must be guaranteed by law. In the ongoing constitutional reforms in Uzbekistan, one of the priority tasks is the improvement of constitutional norms relating to the right to property and its provision. In this regard, it seems appropriate to study the scientific and practical aspects of enshrining the norm in the constitution that the inviolability of property can only be violated by alienation by the owner with the preliminary payment of a full and fair price by a court decision. In addition, it is important to express in the constitution the provisions that a thing belonging to a citizen imposes on him not only rights but also certain duties, under which the owner must perform all actions for the benefit of the society using the property. It is also necessary to strengthen the protection of private property, while it is necessary to establish rules regarding the protection and guarantee of private property by law and not by the state.
