Annotation: the article considers the phenomenon of legal legitimacy. In the course of reasoning it is argued that the legitimacy of power requirements does not match their legality; legitimacy of norms in a modern democratic society is a criterion of quality of legal regulation; legitimate norm as a social fact, plays a positive role in processes of social and system integration.

Honneth, the establishment of integrative links between the individual and the society. This is a prerequisite for the development of a harmonious personality, capable of active, creative treatment of the knowledge, attitudes, stereotypes, values obtained from the society.

Keywords: legal system, rule, legitimation, mutual recognition, legitimacy, social order, legal regulation.
