A long-term situation in which the people who make up the apparatus of Public Power exceed their powers and harm the rights and legitimate interests of citizens, society and the state leads to a violation of the functioning of the entire institutional system, a decrease in its effectiveness and, accordingly, a decrease in the management of social processes and objects. At the same time, several cases of committing crimes by officials lead to a discrediting of state power, a decrease in its authority, as a result of which there is a rejection of power structures by the population.
