Abstract

The essay contained in this text has as its background the problematisation of the Constitution within this ambivalent relationship that mediates the system of politics and the system of law, which must always be open to the force of time. The practical result of these discussions can be observed from specific questions, but of profound impact: what is our constitutional identity? Does an identity forged on the baton of human rights remain on the effects of time until when? The difficult constitutional choices occur in the family environment, in the church, at school and university, in the legislature, in the judiciary and, finally, everywhere. This essay seeks to present alternatives and reflections on the Constitution and the normative force of time in the face of human rights, from a bibliographic and philosophical dialogue that marks our time.
