"This book The Genesis of the Brazilian Constitution analyzes Brazil's constitutional background in the context of the 1823 Constituent Assembly and the Imperial Constitution. It considers them as theaters for debates over political and legal questions concerning Brazil at the time, which, thirsting for a Constitution as a Charter of Political Objectives, discussed and formulated the ideals of what would become the first genuinely Brazilian Magna Carta. It verifies that, during this historical moment, there were in Brazil thoughts and formulations about the application of legal doctrines hitherto consecrated in other countries and how to adapt them to the Brazilian case in a rational, intentional and productive way. That author adopts a historical perspective to examine bibliographic and documentary sources. The book reveals how Brazil's historical experience contributed to the articulation of its unique constitutional thought-one capable of representing the circumstances that shaped the formulation and adaptation of the Constitution throughout time and history."--
