On the basis of the analysis of fundamental constitutional ideals as a special political and legal phenomenon the article dedicates to the author's understanding of their legal nature, limits of stability, and invariability. Such approach required an axiological assessment of the Constitution itself in terms of its stability and dynamism as a formal and legal ideal of legal “eternity”. Institution and legal recognition of constitutional ideals is accomplished by fixing the foundations of the constitutional system, human and civil rights, values of equality, justice, dignity, constituting a kind of “metalegal” part of the Basic Law. The normative content of these categories inherently combines legal and moral-ethical, national (socio-cultural) and universal requirements; therefore, it is important to take into account their different nature in modern legal systems that determine different criteria for balancing interests in the search for the common good: economic pragmatism, on the one hand, and social justice - on the other.
