A Liveral or socialist letter?

An analysis of the brazilian constitucional development model

Abstract

Constitutionalism is a movement that defends the centrality and supremacy of the Constitution and recognizes in the people the political motive for its enactment. The design of the Political Letters is given by the people through their elected representatives, under the influence of different ideological and philosophical lines, such as liberalism and socialism. Starting with a qualitative exploratory study, in which the inductive method was used to analyze the premises and information obtained from the data collected through bibliographical research, the aim was to analyze the development model adopted by the Federal Constitution and the influences of liberalism and socialism on its main legal institutes. Classic doctrines on the subject and the Federal Constitution itself formed the theoretical framework. The results show that there is a certain antagonism in the constitutional text that allows us to see a model that clearly reconciles socialist and liberal values, with the aim of building a model in which freedom and social equality go hand in hand.
