Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of transcripts of Circassian adats / khabze in terms of norms relating to class relations and political institutions (pshchyshkhue / grand duke / valii, hey / princely court, mekhkeme) of the late 18th - early 19th centuries. The norms of the period under review indicate a democratic transformation of the class structure of traditional Circassian society and the influence of Sharia on political institutions. Khabze, recorded in the 1840s and 1860s, demonstrate that the code of Adyghe khabze, despite the divergence of socio-political development in the east and west of the country, continued to develop as a single system of law.
