Abstract: Legal liability is rightly considered one of the central institutions of the law, as it is directly related to the purposes of the law, to their realization. It is known that the adoption of legal norms is not an end in itself, but only the first mandatory stage of the process of legal regulation of social relations. The next stage is the implementation of the provisions of the legal norms. Otherwise, legal norms would lose their meaning and social purpose. This article reflects a historical retrospective on the idea of the responsibility of the state and its organs, both under repressive and reparative aspects. The focus is on the origins of this idea, how it evolved in some European states, as well as in the territory of the Republic of Moldova. Finally, it is concluded that the idea of the responsibility of the state and its organs appeared simultaneously with the idea of the rule of law, since only under the conditions of such a state is it possible to realize the idea in question. At the same time, the lack of an effective mechanism to hold the state and its authorities accountable indicates the non-existence of the rule of law.
