Abstract
The sustainable development of society and the state largely depends on how effectively legal and other social conflicts are prevented and resolved. Optimizing conflict resolution measures is a crucial factor in consolidating society. Modern states are characterized by a renwed system of checks and balances, originally designed to balance the interests of various branches of government. Conflicts have existed throughout the history of every state, and it is important that they be resolved through legal means. In legal doctrine, the problems of legal and social conflicts remain a key focus for scholars and hold significant practical importance. The study aims to investigate doctrinal sources as and national legislation, as well as the specifics of their application, in order to develop recommendations for preventing and resolving legal conflicts. The research is based on scientific publications and national legislation, employing methods such as analysis, synthesis, deduction, and induction. Potential conflict threats have been identified, and legal measures for their resolution in the modern period have been outlined. The importance of classifying conflicts is emphasized, as it enables the identificrion of common and distinct features, the analysis of causes, and the development of resolution strategies. Special attention is given to conflicts arising in the context of post-Soviet turbulence, which led to the formation of a new political and legal paradigm. A critical factor in resolving legal conflicts between branches of government is their willingness to seek compromise, develop law enforcement practices strictly with constitutional principles and norms, and, when necessary, employ legitimate means as a popular vote. It is futher emphasized that the guarantee of the rule of law, alongside the separation of powers, depends on a developed legal consciousness grounded in shared constitutional values. Legal science, guided by constitutional principles, must anticipate possible scenarios - including adverse ones - and propose appropriate courses of action.
