It is intended to bring important points to understand this correlation between the two, and its consequences. After all, every good lawyer must be, in addition to being critical and observant, a student of the consequences of institutional relationships. Let's go?
The Role of the STF
The Federal Supreme Court (STF) is the highest instance of the Brazilian Judiciary and has a central role within the country's legal system.
Its importance is based on the Federal Constitution of 1988, which gives it several attributions and responsibilities to guarantee the supremacy of the Constitution and the protection of fundamental rights.
The role of the STF is essential for maintaining the rule of law in Brazil. By ensuring that the Constitution is the foundation of the entire legal system, the court contributes to the stability and predictability of norms, in addition to protecting citizens from possible abuses of power by governments.
One of the main duties of the STF is to be the guardian of the Federal Constitution. This means that it is the court's responsibility to ensure that the Constitution is respected and observed by all other bodies and instances of the State.
To fulfill this role, the STF has the prerogative to judge direct actions of unconstitutionality (ADIs) and declaratory actions of constitutionality (ADCs), declaring the compatibility or incompatibility of laws and normative acts with the Constitution.
