TL;DR: In this way, the STF has become one of the protagonists in the political stage of Brazil, which has raised doctrinal discussions and the public sphere about its legitimacy in acting proactively as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The paradigm of the Rule of Law, with the purpose of realizing the rights provided for in the Constitution, entrusted to the Judiciary Power the honorable mission to give effect to constitutional rights. In this way, the leadership of this Power, the STF, has become one of the protagonists in the political stage of Brazil, which has raised doctrinal discussions and the public sphere about its legitimacy in acting proactively. Analyze, through historical reconstructions as to the origins of the principle of Separation of Powers and of the Democratic State of Law enshrined in the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, the risk that the juxtaposition of one of the Powers over the others represents for (re)conquered national democracy.

TL;DR: The legal thought has undergone significant historical changes that increased the role of interpreter and law applicator and hence created greater autonomy of the judiciary in relation to the legislative branch: judges are not anymore the "mouth of the law" and became partners in the law-making process as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The legal thought has undergone significant historical changes that increased the role of interpreter and law applicator and hence created greater autonomy of the judiciary in relation to the legislative branch: judges are not anymore the “mouth of the law” and became partners in the law-making process. In addition, the new constitutional reality sets a pretentious social project and ensures substantial guarantee to the material rights, judicializing various issues of life, which resizes the judiciary and makes it active in the process of realization of promises and democratic values, obliging the government to take the necessary measures to carry out constitutionally guaranteed rights. The judiciary thus now has greater autonomy in this constitutional jurisdiction scenario. It took a leading role and has occupied the voids caused by the omission and shortcomings of the other powers, so that the legalization and judicial activism have been used as remedies to enforce the Constitution, to give more effective application to legal rules and to advance the process of democratic consolidation.

TL;DR: The mandado de injuncao foi um dos instrumentos mais debatidos da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte as mentioned in this paper, fazendo-se do direito argumento legitimador de exclusoes a partir de compromissos sabidamente nao cumpridos.
Abstract: O mandado de injuncao foi um dos instrumentos mais debatidos da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte. Sua constitucionalizacao, contudo, ensejou sentimentos diversos: entre a certeza de se estar escrevendo um novo capitulo da historia constitucional brasileira, comprometida com a efetivacao de direitos, e a criacao de mais uma promessa do Estado a operar como alibi (NEVES, 2011), fazendo-se do direito argumento legitimador de exclusoes a partir de compromissos sabidamente nao cumpridos. Entre as possiveis memorias em disputa (POMIAN, 2008), que impactam decisivamente no modo pelo qual interpretamos o writ , advoga-se a tese de que o instituto deve ser lido, apesar de todos os seus inumeros percalcos, como um dos fios condutores que situa a Constituicao de 1988 nao como mais uma promessa a ser futuramente cumprida, mas como instrumento para se efetivar direitos aqui e agora (ANDRADE, 2011).
