| description | This article aims to reflect on the struggles that occurred in Brazil in the context of drafting the Constitution of 1988. Its purpose is to analyze the political disputes at the moment of the country’s redemocratization, highlighting especially two elements: firstly, the internal struggles within the Constituent Assembly; secondly, the pressure of civil society around some political and social agendas. We seek to demonstrate how the actors that operated in these two spaces – the National Congress and the streets – did influence the making of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, which, despite some strong conservative elements, was a document with a predominantly progressive orientation, aimed at deepening the political and social democratization of the country. This article is part of the special theme section on Failed Constitutional Projects in Portugal and Brazil, 20th Century, guest-edited by Paula Borges Santos and Ivo Veiga. |
