Abstract

The theory of constituent power in this work proposes an analysis of what the exercise of constituent power entails, with its central issue arising from the assumption that, on one hand, its exercise is a manifestation of human action and, on the other, that this action has a clear and precise political purpose, such as providing a State with a constitution.

The study presents the existence of original constituent power and derived constituent power. To address their differences, the author refers to the extraordinary and temporary political circumstances that typically characterize the expression of original constituent power and the need to justify constitutional amendments.
