The article is devoted to the study of the characteristics of the theoretical and legal foundations of the information society. The research used general scientific (systemic-structural, functional, axiological) and special research methods (formal-legal, analysis of legal texts, comparative-legal). The purpose of the article is to study the legal foundations of the information society from the standpoint of constitutional and information law. The topicality of the topic determined by the development of the information society in the context of European integration. It noted that the peculiarity of the mechanism of legal regulation in the information society is due to the influence of constitutional law. Norms of information law exert a regulatory influence on social relations in a different way: in the form of establishing legal principles, regimes, values, prohibitions and permissions. The legal foundations of the information society in Ukraine are legal norms that are important for regulating interrelated and interdependent relations in various spheres of social life, which are in a state of constant development and transformation due to the role of information and knowledge. The Constitution of Ukraine is the basis for the development of effective and efficient sectoral legal regulation of the information society. A comparison of civil and information society is given. It indicated that the unity of the civil and information society manifested in the coincidence of goals and tasks. The process of formation of a civil and information society proceeds simultaneously, which reflected in the legal foundations of these societies. The norms of the current information legislation need to clarify because they do not fully correspond to the European guidelines for the regulation of public relations in the information society. The change in the social structure of life, due to the development of the information society, requires constant improvement of legal regulation.
