The article, structured according to the IMRAD format, examines the theoretical foundations and practical principles of forming morally and legally mature youth personalities on the basis of national values. Moral–legal maturity is interpreted as the unity of a young person’s moral values, legal knowledge, awareness of rights and duties, civic responsibility and social activity. The methodological framework combines socio-philosophical, axiological and pedagogical approaches, as well as the analysis of policy documents and comparative methods. As a result, five key principles for developing morally and legally mature youth grounded in the harmony of national values and legal-democratic norms are substantiated: value-oriented, integrative, continuity, subjectivity and cooperation principles. The discussion section explores how these principles can be implemented through the activities of the family, the education system, local communities and civil society institutions.
