The paper deals with the issues of law-making development in the context of actual ideas of Prof. Ekaterina I. Kozlova with regard to the place of a legislative body in the system of state power, order and the results of its activities, the problems of limits of legislative regulation and the politicization of legislation leading to a decline in the quality of laws. The author substantiates the conclusion that the expansion of legislative regulation creates problems, including conflict-of-laws rules, legal uncertainty, numerous references to regulation carried out through bylaws. Excessive legislative regulation leads to restriction of human rights and freedoms, hinders democratic processes. At the same time, the existence of gaps in the legislative material leads to arbitrary interpretation and unlimited discretion of the enforcement. Prof. Kozlova’s works have been developed in the modern scientific doctrine of parliamentarism, federal legislative process and legislation, public control.
