Introduction
The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan is an important foundation for establishing democratic principles in the country, protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens, ensuring the sustainable development of public administration and social life. It determines the path of independent development of Uzbekistan and forms a legal guarantee for the processes of reforms, creative work and modernization. In addition, we can say that in accordance with Article 20 of our Constitution in the new edition, “All contradictions and uncertainties in the legislation that arise in the relations between a person and state bodies shall be interpreted in favor of the person”

Main part
After the collapse of the USSR, the leadership of Uzbekistan began to fully take its independence into its own hands. President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov proposed to the Supreme Council of the Republic to prepare a draft law on the State Independence of the Republic in a very short period of time and submit it for discussion at an extraordinary session of the Supreme Council. After that, on August 26, 1991, the Supreme Council adopted a decision to prepare a draft law “On the State Independence of Uzbekistan”. On August 31, 1991, the extraordinary historical VI session of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Uzbekistan was held.

At this session, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan I. Karimov made a speech and in his speech analyzed the socio-political events that have occurred in the former Union in recent years, the consequences of the attempted coup, and comprehensively substantiated their direct relevance to the fate of Uzbekistan and the history of our people. He also declared the state independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan and proposed to strengthen it with a law on independence. After Islam Karimov became the first President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan boldly began to strengthen its state independence. First of all, state symbols were determined. After gaining independence, such urgent tasks as building a national legal state, establishing a democratic society, and forming market relations required the development of the Constitution of independent Uzbekistan.

When developing the draft Constitution, the world experience of constitutional development was studied, and the achievements achieved in the world in the field of human rights, democracy, and legislation were taken into account. In order to celebrate the adoption of the Constitution of the independent Republic of Uzbekistan, the day of the adoption of the Constitution, December 8, was declared a national holiday – the Day of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan [2]. The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan was developed independently, based on the will and wise opinions of our creative people, as well as taking into account the most advanced experience of constitutional development accumulated in the world, as well as the characteristics of our national statehood.

Our Constitution places special emphasis on the priority of the interests of the people and human rights. In particular, according to Article 7, “The people are the only source of state power,” that is, all decisions and reforms in the country must be carried out in the interests of the people. This norm strengthens the legal basis of democracy in Uzbekistan. Also, Article 20 of the new Constitution enshrines the principle that “All conflicts arising in relations between a person and state bodies shall be interpreted in favor of the person.” This ensuring the primacy of the rights of citizens and further strengthening the state’s responsibility to the people. These principles serve as the main guarantee of justice, freedom and prosperity in our country. In the process of studying the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, it is worth mentioning the main principles that reveal its essence.

•An important principle of the Constitution of Uzbekistan is state sovereignty.
•Another principle of our Constitution is people’s power.
•The next principle is the division of state power into three independent branches. The division of power in the system of state power of Uzbekistan into legislative, executive and judicial branches has been legalized.

According to Article 21 of the Constitution, a single citizenship is established throughout the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan. All citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan, regardless of their nationality and ethnicity, constitute the people of Uzbekistan [Article 21 of the Constitution]. The adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan has become of great importance in the life of our country. It is a fundamental principle of the rule of law in our country. Became the basis for legal reforms for the development of the country.

Hundreds of laws, codes, national programs have been developed, passed public discussions, adopted, and are being implemented in all aspects of our lives. According to the law adopted on April 11, 2007, the norm that the President is the head of the executive power – the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers was removed from Article 89 of the Constitution. In addition, Article 89 stipulates that “the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan is the head of state and ensures the coordinated activity and cooperation of state authorities.”[2]

The new Constitution perfectly embodies the principle of self-determination, which the people have long dreamed of. Therefore, it is based on and strengthens the principle of people’s power. The expression people’s power means that all power belongs to the people in practice and in law. People’s power

Conclusion
The guarantee of freedom of entrepreneurship in the Constitution, the creation of a healthy competitive environment, the protection of the property rights and other legitimate interests of the individual indicate that the principle of the “social state” is being fully implemented in Uzbekistan. This increases the trust of our people in the state and serves as an important factor in building a prosperous life. The principles set forth in our “Basic Dictionary” — the primacy of human dignity, justice, the rule of law and loyalty to the interests of the people — form the foundation of the country’s development.

The implementation of the criteria reflected in the Constitution ensures the stability of the development of society and leads to a free and prosperous life. Therefore, adhering to each of the norms and principles set forth in our Constitution, further improving the legal framework of reforms, and ensuring their effectiveness is one of the most important tasks on the path to the prosperity of our country. In this sense, the Constitution is the confidence of our people in tomorrow and the guarantee of a prosperous future.
