Recognition in the Constitution of the Russian Federation of local self-government as a form of public authority means recognition of the right of the population to participate in solving issues of local importance. The legal regulation of the forms of public participation in the implementation of local self-government has received legislative consolidation. However, there are still problems with the practical implementation of the rights recognized in the Law of citizens living in the territory of the municipality to participate in solving the most important issues of ensuring their livelihoods. The object of the research is the analysis of the historical path of the formation of citizens' rights to participate in the implementation of local self-government. The issues of determining the nature and development of forms of citizen participation in decision-making on issues of local importance are raised. The subject of the study is the problems of law enforcement that arise in the field of municipal relations, in which both the population of the municipality and individual citizens are participants. The prospects for the development of these relations are considered.
