For example, the fundamental works of Johann Althusius «Politics»1603 shows politics as an autonomous sphere of knowledge, along with theology, logic, ethics and jurisprudence. We present the point of view of the policy of independence from law, philosophy and religion, issues of delimitation. Althusius suggested an exclusive, the crucial policy for human life and society as a whole, and the fact that political science does not require additional reinforcement from philosophy and theology. The urgency of this Article is caused, first of all, the role played Althusius in the development of political and legal thought of modern times, have a direct impact on the development of the theory of federalism, and the predetermined weak study of the topic in Russian science.
