Abstract: The paper presents the author’s vision of the ways to resolve the complex of philosophical and methodological problems in comparative law. The author points out the possibility of applying the legal constructivism method for determining the subject sphere of comparison. The author proves that the externalized result of applying the functional structural method is possible only at the level of the comparable legal reality. The relevant concept (“construction”), according to the author’s opinion, should be able to be expressed in the objective form; it should be characterized by certainty and autonomy among other legal phenomena. The paper covers the author’s point of view on the use of the construction on three levels of dimension: theoretical, normative and substantial. The implicit properties of the construction specific to each level of dimension can resolve the problems, arising at the implementation of the Comparative Law issues. The application of the method of deconstruction allows solving a number of methodological issues, related to the application of metaphysical conceptual categories of the legal science, which stresses the effectiveness of the method of constructivism for Comparative Law.

Keywords: Comparative Law, methodology of Comparative Law, legal culture, legal tradition, legal construction, constructivism, deconstruction, functionalism, structure.

Abstract: Under art. VI, cl. 2 of the U.S. Constitution (the Supremacy Clause) all treaties concluded by the United States are considered to be part of the supreme law of the land. Consequently, they are superior to State law, while they have equal status to federal statutes. The Supremacy Clause has been interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court as also applying to executive agreements. Cases of inconsistency between a treaty and a statute will be resolved by means of the “last–in–time” rule. U.S. courts will not apply international law, whether derived from treaty or from custom, in conflict with congressional enactment that comes later in time: the courts have reasoned that “the latest expression of the sovereign will” should prevail. U.S. courts have developed a distinction between “self–executing” and “non–self–executing” treaties; the former will be directly applied by the courts but the latter must await implementation by the legislative or executive branches.

Keywords: the supreme law of the land, to give effect to international agreements within the U.S., the latest expression of the sovereign will, the “last–in–time” rule, implementing legislation, self–executing agreements, non–self–executing agreements, a presumption in favor of treaty self–execution, a presumption against treaty self–execution, the non–self– executing declaration.
