Economic difficulties in society not only lead to a 
wide spread of defects of legal consciousness but at 
the same time cause legal activation of the citizen 
whose behavior is oriented according to the goal. 
According to the results of sociological surveys, "Do 
you want to improve your legal literacy?" 53.4% of 
those who gave a positive answer to the question - 
incomplete secondary education, 53.3% - secondary 
education, 61.1% - secondary special education, 
51.8% - higher education. 
In our opinion, legal consciousness is a reflection 
of the development of the legal reality of society in 
human thinking, a system of views that defines the 
compliance of human behavior with the norms of law, 
and a form of social consciousness that represents the 
moral basis of the application of law to life. 
It is known that legal consciousness, like other 
areas of human consciousness, can go beyond the 
possibilities of existing legal norms. This shows that 
the legal mind is not a dry copy of the existing legal 
norms in the human mind, but their ideological 
source. Even though legal consciousness directly 
gives the meaning of "legality" to individual 
relations, in some cases, it also reveals problems that 
are not in the existing legal norms. Demands to 
protect human rights and freedoms, to realize them, 
to cancel certain laws and create new ones, show that 
legal consciousness has exceeded the standards of 
existing law. At the same time, this kind of 
"overtaking" is characteristic not only of the initial 
stages of the creation of rights but also of the 
development of society as a whole. The change of 
legal consciousness creates new opportunities in the 
development of law and legislation. This situation can 
be seen in the example of the legal reforms being 
carried out in Uzbekistan, which has chosen the path 
of building a legal democratic state. 
The role and importance of legal consciousness 
are clearly visible, especially at the turning points of 
history. In such periods, the level of legal culture of 
citizens affects the life and development of society 
both positively and negatively. As a result of citizens' 
ignorance of the new laws adopted during the 
transition period, and their inability to apply them 
even if they are informed, it can be observed that their 
rights are violated by officials in some cases. In order 
to prevent these situations, it is important to develop 
and adopt documents that establish new legal 
mechanisms aimed at further strengthening the role of 
state authorities, law enforcement structures, 
including the prosecutor's office, to comply with legal 
requirements and ensure the rule of law. 
The success of the processes of democratization 
of public life largely depends on the improvement of 
legal consciousness and legal culture of citizens. 
Because only a citizen with a high level of legal 
literacy and legal culture can be a reliable support for 
free economic, democratic, and spiritual changes. 
That's why today the question of improving legal 
culture, legal awareness, and knowledge of every 
citizen, based on the needs of the time, is gaining 
great importance. 
Therefore, legal consciousness consists of views 
and beliefs that express people's relationship to the 
law, their ideas about the law, aspirations, and 
feelings. A people and a nation that has grown in legal 
consciousness, knowledge, and culture can build a 
great future state by being self-aware, believing in its 
own strength, and using all its possibilities in a 
positive way. Legal consciousness, legal knowledge 
encourages all citizens not only to solve today's 
problems but also to think about the future. 
Based on the age-old traditions, traditions, 
language, religion, and spirit of our people, legal 
culture serves to inculcate in our minds the feelings 
of enlightenment and truth, such as honesty and faith, 
justice and legality, high respect and attention to 
people, and patience. Therefore, a legal culture that 
directs people's thoughts and worldviews to work 
selflessly for our independence is a vital necessity. 
In our opinion, legal culture expresses the level of 
legal consciousness, knowledge of law, and respect 
for laws, includes the activities of law enforcement 
that serve to ensure and strengthen legal order and 
legality, and reflects the ideological and legal 
situation of society at a certain historical stage. 
Law can fulfill the role of a moral factor that 
regulates social relations only when it is recognized 
as a moral value and vital necessity, that is, when a 
person determines the objective importance of its 
norms and principles, not when it is understood by 
thinking and verified by experience. After all, "as 
long as the citizens do not have a conscious attitude 
to the laws, they will not be implemented, and instead 
of giving impetus to the development of society, they 
will remain a mess. The active manifestation of a 
conscious attitude to the laws consists of the sense of 
claim developed in every citizen. The establishment 
of a sense of interest in the law among citizens is the 
basis for their legal activation - increasing the level of 
their legal culture (Ismoil kizi, 2024). 
Legal culture is formed and improved under the 
influence of legal ideology, legal knowledge, legal 
psyche, or social-spiritual, emotional-volitional side 
(experiences, feelings, habits, trust, etc.) within legal 
consciousness. At the same time, legal culture leads 
to the formation and control of property, economic, 
national, family, and other relations between citizens
