Democracia no exercício da jurisdição constitucional no Brasil: da redemocratização à ascensão do autoritarismo

Abstract

This research entitled "Democracy and Its Impacts on the Exercise of Constitutional Jurisdiction in Brazil: From Redemocratization to the Rise of Authoritarianism" examines how Brazilian democracy, since the redemocratization process, has shaped the role of constitutional jurisdiction, particularly in a context of growing authoritarianism and institutional dysfunctions. The study analyzes historical milestones such as the military regime, the enactment of the 1988 Constitution, and the transition from liberal to illiberal democracy models. The methodology employed comprises a bibliographic review and qualitative content analysis, emphasizing the complex interactions between constitutionalism and the challenges posed by democratic erosion. The findings reveal that the rise of authoritarian practices undermines fundamental principles, affecting judicial independence and subverting democratic foundations to the detriment of rights and freedoms.
