“We, the People” entitlement within constitutional change
Main Article Content
Resumo
Nos últimos anos, floresceu literatura sobre a revisão constitucional, em especial no que respeita aos limites materiais à revisão constitucional e à sua relação com a democracia e com os fenómenos do constitucionalismo abusivo e populista. O estudo do «desenho constitucional» de um Estado é de grande relevância, uma vez que a possibilidade de revisão constitucional levanta questões fundamentais sobre a legitimidade da ordem constitucional, sobre o titular e o lugar da soberania, muito particularmente naqueles ordenamentos jurídicos onde se permite a participação popular direta no processo de alteração da Constituição. Com efeito, em alguns ordenamentos jurídicos, o «Nós, o Povo» afirma-se na iniciativa e/ou aprovação de revisões constitucionais. Segundo esta perspetiva, o artigo explora a ideia de «Nós, o Povo», explanando quem integra «o povo», a forma como age e reage, e as situações em que a sua ação desvela uma alteração constitucional. Este artigo é um convite ao desenvolvimento das abordagens do «Povo», num contexto constitucional que arremessou o populismo da sentinela da democracia.
