The use of exceptional measures by governments has always been the subject of controversy due to its legitimacy. In view of this, this article aims to analyze this theme, using as a theoretical reference the studies of Giorgio Agamben. It discusses initially the functions and characteristics of the new constitutionalism developed in the post-war period and the recognition of the normative force of the Constitution. After that, using the deductive method, starting from the main premises made by the studied theorists, it is analyzed situations of exception that occurred in the United States and Colombia, with an emphasis on justifications and measures of execution. These countries were chosen because they experienced a complete cycle with the enactment and execution of exceptional measures, until questioning before the respective constitutional courts about the constitutionality of those measures. Therefore, it is analyzed how the Constitutional Courts acted in these cases, especially with regard to the constitutionality of the enactment of the state of exception as well as of the enforcement measures. Finally, it is analyzed the content of these decisions, especially the treatment given to cases that resulted in restrictions on basic fundamental rights. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through the constitutional jurisprudential analysis method it can be said that based on the C-108 Sentence of 1994, there is a constitutional precedent that recognizes in a reiterated way the competence of the Colombian Constitutionalist Court for performing, through an unconstitutionality action, the abstract constitutionality control of the relative legislative omissions, which is a competence that has progressively widen its audit margin and has allowed the constitutionality control to not be exclusively restricted to constitutional scenarios of infringement to the equality principle, but also to be performed to any incomplete legislative development that turns out to be incompatible with the Constitution. For this reason, once this constitutional precedent is analyzed, this work proposes and understands the unconstitutionality by relative legislative omission as the lack of appropriate and timely legislative development of the Constitution that is verified in the partial non-compliance of a concrete constitutional duty and binding to be legislated, which is derived from the evolutionary and systematic interpretation of a discriminatory legal disposition, deficient or incomplete, that produces the infringement of the equality principle, the transgression of the right to due diligence or another constitutional guarantee; thus restricting or making difficult the enforceability, direct application and material efficacy of the Constitution.

This article seeks to explain why the terms judicial "formalism" and "activism" are often used as antagonistic ways of discrediting judicial activity. Thus, it will be necessary to clarify that they have different meanings in diverse legal-professional contexts and even carry more than one meaning in the same context. However, this time we will focus on elucidating their pejorative sense. Then, we will argue that both terms, in some cases, are belittling because they identify ways of understanding the judicial function that do not take two essential elements--generally considered valuable--of current Western legal systems seriously: fundamental rights and democratic laws. Finally, we propose an alternative model to understand judicial activity compatible with these elements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O presente artigo trata de pesquisa sobre a influência das teorias dos diálogos institucionais e da última palavra provisória no pensamento constitucional brasileiro contemporâneo. Investiga-se se essas teorias têm aptidão para servir de fundamento teórico à possibilidade jurídica de superação, pelo Poder Legislativo, das decisões proferidas pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal no exercício do controle jurisdicional de constitucionalidade. A conclusão é positiva e assenta-se na premissa de que a superação legislativa é decorrência lógica do princípio democrático consagrado pela Constituição de 1988. Ademais, são examinados os modos pelos quais o fenômeno da superação legislativa pode ocorrer – emenda constitucional ou lei ordinária ou complementar –, com as características, exigências e implicações de cada um.

Como as cortes justificam sua opção pela autocontenção, isto é, sua escolha expressa ou implícita por não decidir um caso, notadamente na presença de repercussões políticas, favorecendo as instituições majoritárias e preservando os órgãos julgadores de custos políticos indesejáveis? A literatura brasileira sobre a revisão judicial, em Direito e em Ciência Política, debruça-se sobre as noções de ativismo e de autocontenção, estabelecendo seus pressupostos teóricos e analisando os dados que mostram a prática decisória (e omissões) do STF. Inexiste, contudo, um inventário sobre os critérios técnicos utilizados pelo tribunal. Este artigo inova ao oferecer esta leitura: como o STF pode se eximir de julgar? Há argumentos jurídico-processuais que viabilizam esta opção institucional, empregados em sede de controle concentrado e difuso de constitucionalidade por aquele Tribunal. Oferece-se ao leitor, através de uma metodologia exploratória e descritiva do conteúdo das decisões (de natureza autocontida) tomadas pelos membros do Supremo Tribunal Federal, um texto que pretende organizar e categorizar as diversas formas pelas quais o fenômeno institucional da autorrestrição judicial se manifesta na esfera do controle de constitucionalidade.

O presente estudo busca analisar os contornos constitucionalmente estabelecidos a uma intervenção federal no Estado por violação da autonomia municipal em matéria ambiental. Apresentam-se breves considerações sobre a compreensão de supremacia da Constituição, com digressões necessárias sobre a autonomia municipal erigida a princípio sensível nas Constituições de 1946, 1967, Emenda Constitucional (EC) de 1969 e Constituição da República de 1988 (CR/1988). Adentra-se na análise da competência atribuída ao Estado pela Lei Complementar (LC) no140/2011 para, por intermédio do Conselho Estadual e em instrumento próprio, definir o conceito de impacto local no processo de licenciamento municipal. Para a elaboração desse estudo, foi utilizado o método dedutivo, bem como a pesquisa realizada na doutrina, leis e jurisprudência, tendo como marco a predominância do interesse local. Pode-se concluir que tal disposição viola a repartição constitucional de competência e o princípio sensível da autonomia municipal, bem como a competência privativa para organizar e planejar o seu território, sendo cabível o ajuizamento em face do Estado da Ação Direita de Inconstitucionalidade Interventiva, mediante representação ao Procurador Geral da República, nos termos dos arts. 34, inciso VII, “c”, e 36, inciso III, da CR/1988, regulamentada pela Lei no 12.562/2011, que tramitará perante o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF).

Guardiã do respeito à constituição, a jurisdição constitucional nas suas decisões forçosamente incursiona no campo da política. Diante disso, este artigo visa examinar os limites e possibilidades da atuação dos tribunais e cortes no controle dos atos do Legislativo e do Executivo e no estabelecimento de diretrizes para a sociedade. O texto, à medida do possível, nos remete à nossa realidade.

Com a presente análise, se pretende investigar a origem e o fundamento teórico das diversas escolas sobre a interpretação do Direito Constitucional, e o exercício do controle de constitucionalidade em matérias tributária no Brasil. Analisa-se ainda, as razões da modulação dos efeitos da decisão pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, quando isso ocorre por razões de aplicação do princípio da segurança jurídica ou de excepcional interesse social

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2177-7055.2017v38n75p79 The question of the effects of judicial decisions in complex judicial review systems such as the brazilian is pressing. Not all relevant aspects regarding the effects of the decisions of the Brazilian Supreme Court like extension and other issues are peaceful. This article explores the discussion about the thesis of “the abstract character” of the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Supreme Court in incidental judicial review. From a rescue of the historical development of the Brazilian constitutional system, the article seeks to critically examine the thesis held by some judges of the Brazilian Supreme Court especially during the trial of the “Reclamação” process n. 4.335/AC. At the end the study seek to demonstrate that it is plausible to argue that there is some limits in the Brazilian positive constitutional law to the admissibility of the thesis, which adoption requires a formal constitutional modification.

Não obstante de diversos temas da atualidade, quais sejam, judicialização da política, ativismo judicial, crise de representatividade, candidaturas avulsas, dentre outros, o presente artigo tem o condão de tratar de forma analítica o agravo do recurso extraordinário n. 1.054.490 do Supremo Tribunal Federal, que versa sobre a possibilidade das candidaturas avulsas no Brasil. Além disso, importa divagar sobre de que forma o poder judiciário tem atuado nesse caso tão importante para o destino político nacional.

First, the study gives a brief historical account of the evolution of judicial precedents in the United States through the Marbury v. Madison and the importance of this case in American constitutional law. Following on the doctrine that defends the precedents in Brazil and its arguments and grounds for its application in the internal scope. In this way, the main objective of the study is to explain the consequences that the application of judicial precedents can bring to the Brazilian State if it is carried out in the way that is occurring, that is, without interpretation criteria and without grounds for its effective application, which can be harmful not only to the legal system, but to society as a whole. Therefore, the important use of the reasoned interpretation that must be used by Brazilian courts and not simply a composition of non-systematic presumptions of the Judiciary Power, as has been occurring in the Brazilian scenario, remains crystal clear.

This article details the jurisprudential path in the formation of the concept of Control of Conventionality and describes its expansionist vocation from its peripheral appearance to its current presentation that requires adjustments of internal regulations, procedures, judges and officials performances, among other requirements. Done this analysis, the study is aimed at analyzing the official concept and the binding nature that has been intended to confer, in this examination will be elucidated whether alleging the principle of international pacta sunt servanda is sufficient or if the error exempts the obligation. Likewise, the juridical nature of jurisprudence in International Law is studied in order to know what is its true hierarchical location and therefore its mandatory force. At this point an investigation will be made from the philosophy of language to know if the statement itself and its terms are correct. Next, this study confronts the Control of Conventionality with fundamental concepts of law such as state sovereignty and supremacy of the Constitution in domestic law and the principle of subsidiarity of international procedures in international law. Finally, the reception of these concepts in Peruvian law is exposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Cuban Constitution of 2019, in force since April 10, 2019, conceives a system of constitutional control that emanates from the National Assembly of People's Power, namely a body that has the legislative function among its powers. This system follows a tradition of socialist constitutionalism established for the first time in Cuba in the 1976 Constitution, which did not conceive the aforementioned control by an organ external to that with legislative functions. This lead to a scenario in which was not possible to create a coherent and functional system for the control of constitutionality, considering the existence of legal rules, including those of the National Assembly, containing provisions that constitute clear violations to the Constitution and the system. The present article, considering the logic established in the Constitution of 2019, provides a proposal for its improvement in the face of future legislative reforms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article uses the modern technique of constitutional interpretation, since conflicts like this can not be solved with the use of traditional legal interpretation, which is developed through the subsonic method of the rules to the concrete case. It is that the fundamental rights have the same normative characteristics of the principles, and they harbor in their bulge equally important opposing values. In such cases, the interpreter must have a creative role and, by means of the value-weighting technique, be able to gauge the weight of each of those fundamental rights that are at stake, in order to decide in favor dqauele that best suits social circumstances. Finally, the article analyzes the practice of vaquejada, a typical cultural manifestation of the Northeast region, demonstrating that the fundamental right to a balanced environment, free from practices that subject animals to cruelty (article 225, VII, CF / 88) must Prevail in relation to the fundamental right to free cultural manifestation, provided for in art. 215, CF / 88.

This paper seeks to evaluate the art. 525, §§ 12 and 15 of the 2015 Code of Civil Procedure, which introduced new hypothesis of the suitability of rescission action founded on unconstitutionality declarated by the Supreme Court that has addressed the legislative foundation that formed the basis for the decision who seeks to terminate, opening new deadline for the filing of this exceptional measure from the statement of the Supreme Court. The analysis takes place in collating this standard with the principles of legal certainty, through the discussion of theory of judicial review to, at the end, assess its constitutionality.

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade analisar a eficácia da atuação dos Tribunais de Contas, em especial o Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Tocantins, no que tange ao Controle de Constitucionalidade Difuso. Será demonstrada a influência que as Cortes de Contas acarretam ao realizar o controle, partindo da ideia de um Estado Democrático de Direito. A fiscalização das verbas públicas se mostra imprescindível ao longo da história do Brasil, e a atuação comedida, porém imparcial, dos Tribunais de Contas no âmbito jurisdicional acarreta segurança jurídica aos cidadãos, por evitar o descontrole de gastos por parte da Administração, além de contribuir efetivamente para a Separação dos Poderes, princípio constitucional fundamental.

Finally, from the exhibition of empirical data, questions the viability of the exercise of judicial services and speech of the effectiveness of judicial services.

RESUMO Neste artigo discutimos os papéis que o Supremo Tribunal Federal (stf) têm desempenhado ao arbitrar interesses em disputa no controle de constitucionalidade das leis, via ações direitas de inconstitucionalidade (adis). Para isso, baseamo-nos na análise quantitativa das adis julgadas pelo tribunal entre os anos de 1988 e 2014, mapeando o conteúdo de sua agenda decisória, verificando em que medida o Supremo tem feito diferença nas arenas de conflito social e político do país. Concluímos que apesar do Supremo arbitrar importantes disputas sociais e políticas, sua agenda tem sido tomada por uma pauta ligada ao delineamento das carreiras públicas, decidindo sobre expansão ou contenção das prerrogativas da burocracia do Estado. Entre os diversos papéis que a literatura corrente acerca da judicialização da política tem atribuído às supremas cortes ao redor do mundo, em um cenário de expansão do poder político do Judiciário, verificamos que, no caso do Brasil, mais do que instituição contramajoritária ou instância de implementação de direitos sociais e coletivos, o stf tem desempenhado papel de verdadeiro órgão de deliberação corporativa.

This study aims to analyze the performance of a specific group among the legitimate to mobilize the judicial review: the class associations. In addition to belong to civil society, the professional associations also show themselves interesting as they involve groups with potentially opposing interests, as entrepreneurs and workers. Then, the intention is to study their performance regarding the use of ADPFs - Pleas of violation of constitutional fundamental statements - that are a mean of judicial review against laws which violate the Constitution in what such associations regard as its most important dictates.

The Popular Constitutionalism Theory represents dogmatic construction of great importance to the establishment of a new institutional dialogue and relaxation of the current supremacy of judicial review promoted by the judiciary. The approach of the Constitution to the people, with the consequent assignment of interpretive authority to the population, can be made possible by the Federal Audit Court, institution also legitimized to carry out the constitutional control and able to break the supremacy of the judicial review.

O controle de constitucionalidade das leis, a despeito de sua plena consolidação na ampla maioria dos Estados constitucionais, ainda suscita inúmeras divergências doutrinárias. As objeções possuem cariz democrático. O presente estudo objetiva trazer à calva as considerações pragmáticas exaradas por um dos principais mentores da análise econômica do Direito (Law and economics) acerca do instituto. Richard Posner extrapola a discussão eminentemente centrada nas objeções democráticas do controle judicial das leis, trazendo importantes contribuições para o estudo e análise dessa prerrogativa judicial.

O presente trabalho tem por propósito principal discutir os papéis das supremas cortes e tribunais constitucionais nas democracias contemporâneas. Procura demonstrar que essas cortes desempenham, além do papel contramajoritário tradicionalmente a elas reconhecido pela teoria constitucional, dois outros papéis: representativo e, esporadicamente, iluminista. Na construção do argumento, o artigo analisa os fenômenos da judicialização da política e do ativismo judicial, assim como o tema da difícil demarcação da fronteira entre direito e política nas sociedades plurais e complexas da atualidade. Embora apresente diversos exemplos da experiência constitucional dos Estados Unidos, o texto procura analisar os papéis das supremas cortes e cortes constitucionais na perspectiva de um constitucionalismo global, trabalhando com categorias que se tornaram correntes nas principais democracias do mundo.

Tradicionalmente a interpretação constitucional tem sido encarada como uma atividade eminentemente técnica, restrita, portanto, aos profissionais do meio jurídico. Esse paradigma limita a noção mais ampla de cidadania, na medida em que exclui a maior parte da sociedade de um processo que refletirá amplamente nas prestações positivas do Estado, como os direitos fundamentais e as políticas públicas. A partir da Constituição Federal de 1988 houve a ampliação do rol de legitimados a propor ações de controle concentrado de constitucionalidade, bem como passou-se a admitir uma maior participação de atores externos ao meio jurídico. O artigo tem por escopo analisar esse processo de democratização da interpretação jurídica a partir das proposições de ações de controle de constitucionalidade. Para tanto, usando de dados disponibilizados pelo setor de estatísticas do Supremo Tribunal Federal, foram analisadas todas as iniciativas de Ações de Declaração de Inconstitucionalidade no período de 1988 a 2016. Constatou-se que os avanços no processo de democratização da interpretação constitucional são ainda incipientes, o que se demonstra tanto pelo insulamento dos burocratas jurídicos protagonizando as referidas ações, quanto pela sub-representação de atores representantes da sociedade civil.

Neste trabalho, sustento que a ação declaratória de constitucionalidade apresenta alguns pontos ainda indefinidos e que a sua legitimidade depende da interpretação destes aspectos. Estes pontos são identificados a partir do confronto da abordagem doutrinaria a respeito desta ação com a sua aplicação pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal. Ao final, é feita uma análise crítica e propositiva a respeito destes pontos indefinidos.

This article aims to discuss, from de decision's effects modulation on the constitutionality control, the possibility of discretionary action of the Judiciary. Submitted the diffuse and concrete constitutionality controls, as well as the decision's effects modulation that recognize the (un)constitutionality, it follows for a concrete case analysis, the Extraordinary Appeal 197.917/SP, in which the Supreme Federal Court has modulated their decision's effects. Even dealing about diffuse constitutionality control, where is adopted the theory of nullity, the Supreme Federal Court has decided by applying the "for the future effect", arised from the concrete constitutionality control. Thus, using the phenomenological-hermeneutic method, part on the basic premise that the diffuse effect abstraction may be maleficent to the whole society. From this initial premise some conclusions arises, among wich that those who did not were part of the lawsuit and had no right to the contradictory and full defense may suffer the decicion's effects. It also concludes, that the modulation seem to indicate an activist stance of the Judiciary, which without explicit criteria for their decisions's effects definition, control the constitucionality disposed into discussion.
