Summary/Abstract: The author discussed the division of acts of law, accounting for the functional criterion. The acts of law include: 1) legislative acts, 2) acts embodying the rights and duties of cities and citizens, 3) guarantee acts, ensuring the application of the laws from the two previous groups. It is material that a division is made between the acts of special law (privileges: lex specialis) and acts of common law. The functional division of acts of law makes it possible to point at links between the normative acts that establish general law, special effects of law that invalidated special rights of specific groups, and also the acts embodying the law and guarantee acts.
