Resumo: |
The right to vote is, in the Brazilian legal system, the main instrument of popular sovereignty and constitutional democracy. It is through this right that citizens express their opinion in a decision-making process. However, in order to the vote configure effectively a right, certain assumptions must be observed: obedience to popular sovereignty and a constitutional democracy. Not enough, the Constitution should provide - and ensure - that the vote has all its necessary elements, as the universality, immediacy, equality and secrecy. So, at first it will be analyzed the conditions for the development of the right to vote. Two distinct concepts of popular sovereignty will be presented, so we can build a current concept of it. Still, possible concepts of democracy will be analyzed, and especially of constitutional democracy. The second phase, will be dedicated to the study of conformation of the vote as a fundamental political right and its essential elements. Thus, it will be shown that vote, in the Brazilian legal system, is an instrument of popular sovereignty and, at the same time, fundamental right. With respect to its essential elements, the goal is to demonstrate that the Federal Constitution provides them (universality, immediacy, equality and secrecy) and at the same time, sets impediments to legislator, which should always act to prestigiate them |
