Abstract
In this aryicle, the term “legal security of the individual” implies any form of protection of personal interests against the arbitrariness of power. The article examines the issues of individual legal security using the examples of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan. Modern research analyzes new approaches to the concept of personal security, emphasizes its types and forms, considers the main prerequisites for its emergence and development, and observes the search for new approaches and interpretations. The analysis of the constitutions of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan shows that personal security, both as a legal institution and as an object of constitutional security, represents a complex systemic phenomenon that includes organizational and legal mechanisms and guarantees individual rights in various spheres of modern society.
