The article studies social norms as a special kind of determinants of public consciousness and finds that in modern society there is an institutional distribution of normative systems that legitimize power. At the same time, formal institutions are normalized by law, informal ones are normalized by morality. Normative determination in most developed countries of the world has a rational formal legal nature and is made up of value regulators of world pictures, regulators of social subordination and hierarchy, and regulators of behavior. It is shown that the political practices of our time presuppose continuous interaction between society and the institutions of power, the search for legitimate practices, a single, least contradictory social request that this power is able to satisfy.
