Abstract: The purpose of the study is to develop a theoretical model of the structural and block organization of a constitutional person, which will eliminate the disconnect between modern practices of systematization of constitutional rights and will allow to obtain a full picture of the legal status of a person within the framework of existing challenges. The study is based on a conceptual approach to the analysis of modern literature on constitutional and legal studies based on the structural-functional approach, comparative legal approach and systematic approach by identifying the principles of organization of legal status and mechanisms of interaction between different categories of rights. The study shows traditional classifications of constitutional rights are ineffective, as they ignore systemic interrelations. A new concept of a constitutional human being is proposed, consisting of five blocks: autonomy, civic participation, social security, cultural identity, and legal guarantees. Five types of interrelations are identified: horizontal functional and value, vertical resource and spatial, and temporal under technological influence. By modifying existing blocks, the model adapts to challenges like AI, climate change, and digitalization. The structural-block model enables systematic study, prediction of reforms, and provides a framework for protecting rights amid global changes.
Keywords: constitutional person, constitutional rights, legal status of a person, structural-block organization, systemic approach
