The purpose of the article is to study the legal nature of human rights, as well as to study the constitutional mechanism for protecting the rights of citizens (on the example of the Russian Federation). The article uses the inductive method, the method of systematic scientific analysis, as well as comparative legal and historical methods. The leading method, which is the basis for solving the problem, is to study the legal foundations and features of the implementation of the protection of citizens' rights through the use of constitutional methods and modes (tools) of legal protection. The article proved the theoretical unsolved problem of the effectiveness of the implementation of the constitutional mechanism for the protection of citizens' rights. The criticism of the classical doctrine of human rights as a scientific discourse was quite justified. Legal science needs a holistic and consistent anthropological and legal dogma of human rights, including for solving practical problems of the national legal system, in particular the Russian one, where even the constitutional text needs a human-centered interpretation.
