5.1. The concept, functions and basic principles of legal
liability.

Legal liability should be distinguished from "positive liability",
which is understood as a sense of responsibility for your behaviour,
activity, a sense of duty. "Positive responsibility" exists in three forms

of time: in the future, in the present and in the past, although in most
cases it is aimed at the future. Legal liability is a consequence of the
offense.

Legal liability is the application by a state or an authorized
person of coercive measures for an offense committed by a guilty
person. Measures of state coercion may have personal restrictions
(deprivation of liberty, deprivation of the right to do certain

activities), property penalty (confiscation, obligation to compensate
harm).

Legal liability is a measure of punishment, which has usually
a public character, a kind of legal relationship between the state and
the offender, on the basis of which the state has the right to apply
certain measures of influence to the violator, and the offender is

obliged to stand the state-established losses of personal and property
