To achieve this goal, the book begins with an analysis of the long road to institutional stability, by presenting a short history of Brazilian constitutionalism, with a special focus on the transition from authoritarianism to democracy which led to the promulgation of the 1988 Constitution. The following chapters deal with the organisation of powers, beginning with a chapter dedicated to the National Congress, in which the electoral system and the law-making process are analysed; the next chapter presents the peculiarities of the executive power in Brazil: a strong president and the so-called coalition presidentialism; finally, the Brazilian Supreme Court is analysed using three concepts: independence, activism, and extreme publicity. In relation to the distribution of powers, the following chapter aims to explain Brazilian federalism, showing how federal power-sharing in Brazil functions. The final chapters analyse the protection of rights (with special attention to the implementation of social rights) and the protection of the constitutional order under the 1988 Constitution"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 610 10 $a Brazil. $t Constituicʹao (1988) 610 10 $a Brazil. $b Supremo Tribunal Federal. 610 17 $a Brazil. $b Supremo Tribunal Federal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00542662 630 07 $a Constituicʹao (Brazil : 1988) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01711716 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Constitutions $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Constitutional history $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Federal government $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Executive power $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z Brazil. 650 7 $a LAW / Constitutional. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Latin America / South America. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW / Legal History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862627 650 7 $a Constitutional history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875777 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 650 7 $a Constitutions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875851 650 7 $a Executive power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917857 650 7 $a Federal government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922333 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206830 776 08 $i Online version: $a Silva, Virgilio Afonso da, author. $t Constitution of Brazil $d Oxford, UK ; Chicago, Illinois : Hart Publishing, 2019 $z 9781509929672 $w (DLC) 2019000537 830 0 $a Constitutional systems of the world. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318012340.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=09904FB40CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
