Abstract
On 5 October 1988, after an unprecedented political exercise in constitution-making of nearly two years, the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies working together as a Constituent Assembly, promulgated a new constitution for Brazil. Including the previous debates and political negotiations, the constitutional discussion lasted for about four years, during which it was the focal point of Brazilian political life.
