- depending on the method of legal regulation, legal relationships
can be contractual and managerial (state and powerful);
- depending on the content of social relations, they can have the
character of political, economic, moral, religious, and international

relations;
- depending on the substance of the behaviour of subjects, they
can be active (performance of duties) and passive (refrain from certain

actual physical actions);
- depending on the functional purpose, they can be regulatory
(static – fixing and dynamic – developing) and security (social
values);

- depending on the duration of the term – short-term relations,
which ends with the fulfilment of the rights and obligations by the
participants, and continuing ones, which do not end with the

fulfilment of certain rights and obligations (for example, labour
relations after the conclusion of an employment contract);
- depending on the nature of relations that can be regulated by

the national system of law and the norms of international law, -
internal legal relations and international legal relations.
The subjects (parties) of legal relationships are the participants

of legal relationships, having mutual rights and obligations.
There are often two such parties: sellers and a buyer when there
is process of buying and selling; an investigator and a witness in
interrogation, etc. However, there are also multilateral legal relations.

Thus, every citizen regarding his/her constitutional rights is in legal
relationships with all other subjects, including with the state: all of
them are obliged to respect his/her rights, and do not hinder their

implementation.
The possibility of a subject to be a participant in the relationship
is determined by his/her legal personality, that is, the ability to be the
subject of law. Legal personality is a special property, political and

legal status of a definite person and it includes three elements:
- legal capacity – the ability to have subjective rights and legal
obligations;

- capacity – the ability to exercise rights and responsibilities by
your actions;
- delict capability – the ability to be legally responsible for your

actions.
