Constitutional Law

The Constitution is the highest hierarchy norm in a legal system, which organizes, structures and constitutes the State and individual rights and guarantees. Constitutions can be classified according to their content, form, mode of preparation, origin, stability, extent and purpose. Brazil's 1988 federal constitution is formal, written, dogmatic, promulgated, rigid, and analytical. The area of law is present and influencing all branches, guiding the interests of the state and the people who make up its people. No legal career may sever its ties with its higher legal order, under penalty of losing the highest aspirations of the human species and corrupting the efficiency of the legally constituted democratic representation.
