A crise da representatividade entre o povo e o legislativo federal e a consequente judicialização da política pelo STF

Abstract

This paper focuses its analysis on the representative’s crisis between the Federal Legislature and the people as a booster of the judicial activism in the Supreme Court. To better comprehend the issue, decisions handed down by the Constitutional Court will be analyzed, as well as statistics and statements of the Ministers. At the end, its goal is to demonstrate the undue interference of the Supreme Court in the jurisdiction of the Federal Legislature, in order to clarify the limits of the Brazilian Constitutional Court from the perspective of the separation of powers as well to demonstrate the link between the representative’s crisis and the consequent active stance of the Supreme Court.
