Since it spurs the participation of the people in the exercise of political power, it emerges as a conciliatory alternative to the Representative Regime - one of questionable legitimacy in account of the distortion it causes on the will of the public. It does so specially vis-?-vis the legislative, where the law is created. It s known that our Constitution (arts. 1? e 14, CF/88) provides for the means through which the members of the public may take part in the political process of the country, for it consecrates the plebiscite, the referendum and the popular initiative, all of them incipiently regulated by the Lei n? 9.709/98. It s our task, thus, to inquire, through deductive reasoning as well as the legal exegeses, the enforceability of the Popular Initiative as a means of popular emancipation, given that it enables the citizens to conscientiously participate in the public sphere. It has also an educational ethos which builds the capacity of individual to act, and, therefore, through thoughtful choices, enhance the legal system. Furthermore, the Lei da Ficha Limpa (LC n? 135/2010) surely represents a milestone in the Brazilian political history, since it accrued from a new way of social interaction allowed by the usage of communication technology on the pursuit of political morality. As a matter of fact, this bill is a clear example of how a legal act was legitimately proposed through Public Initiative. Hence, it s beneficial to actually make use of the Public Initiative, under the influence of the New Constitutional Hermeneutics, with a view to supporting social claims and promoting a dialogical relationship with the State in order to help it in the decisionmaking process. Thereat, we can achieve important civic spaces through which the fundamental right to democracy shall be materialized, tearing apart the old paradigms of inequality and, thus, promoting social justice / A Democracia Participativa espraiada no Princ?pio da Soberania Popular desponta como alternativa conciliadora ao Regime Representativo, de question?vel legitimidade pelo desvirtuamento da vontade popular, na medida em estimula a participa??o do povo no exerc?cio do poder, mais especificamente, perante o legislativo, onde se elaboram as leis. Evidencia-se que, a Constitui??o Federal vigente (arts. 1? e 14, CF/88) prev? as formas de participa??o direta do povo nas decis?es pol?ticas do pa?s, consagrando os institutos jur?dicos do plebiscito, do referendo e da iniciativa popular, ambos regulamentados de forma incipiente na Lei n? 9.709/98. Cumpre, pois, investigar atrav?s do m?todo dedutivo e, bem como, do m?todo exeg?tico-jur?dico a aplicabilidade da Iniciativa Popular, como mecanismo de emancipa??o social, posto viabilizar a atua??o cidad? consciente, cujo car?ter pedag?gico capacita o indiv?duo a agir e, deste modo, por interm?dio de escolhas refletidas promove o aprimoramento do pr?prio sistema jur?dico. Outrossim, a Lei da Ficha Limpa (LC n? 135/2010), seguramente, representa um marco na hist?ria pol?tica do pa?s, por resultar da mobiliza??o social interativa corol?rio do uso das novas tecnologias em prol da moralidade pol?tica, sendo deflagrada, em termos pr?ticos, mediante a propositura leg?tima de um projeto de Iniciativa Popular. Destarte, torna-se salutar, a utiliza??o efetiva da Iniciativa Popular, sob o influxo de uma Nova Hermen?utica Constitucional, que venha a corroborar com as reivindica??es sociais e promova uma rela??o dial?gica com o Estado, auxiliando na tomada de decis?es pol?ticas e, assim, galgando paulatinamente, espa?os c?vicos importantes rumo ? concretiza??o do direito fundamental ? democracia, quebrando paradigmas de desigualdades e promovendo a consecu??o da Justi?a Social

The hypotheses were the failure of normative forecasting theme in the Federal Constitution, as well as the existence of widespread and dominant interpretations which would tend to present even more restricted scope of this instrument of popular participation, well as social and economic factors involved in citizenship education and the media, for example, that promote belittling of the popular initiative in Brazil. Thus, using literature review and deductive method of dealing with the topic, came to the conclusion that indeed the use of the tool is small, much smaller than desirable in a political regime of semi-direct democracy, and that contribute to the poor efficiency of the popular initiative both confused and diminished constitutional provision of the theme, as the almost non-existent infra forecast, besides the already mentioned social and economic factors, which, in the current Brazilian reality, need further development so that they can make further progress of democratic practices in the country / O objetivo do presente estudo foi observar a iniciativa popular como instrumento de efetivação do princípio democrático no Brasil. As hipóteses avençadas eram da insuficiência da previsão normativa do tema na Constituição Federal, bem como a da existência de interpretações difundidas e dominantes cuja tendência seria a restrição ainda maior da abrangência desse instrumento de participação popular, além de fatores sociais e econômicos, envolvidos com a educação para a cidadania e a comunicação social, por exemplo, que promovem um amesquinhamento da iniciativa popular no Brasil. Assim, com utilização de análise bibliográfica e método dedutivo de abordagem dos temas, chegou-se à conclusão de que realmente a utilização do referido instrumento é pequena, muito menor que a desejável num regime político de Democracia semidireta, e que contribuem para a pouca efetividade da iniciativa popular tanto a previsão constitucional confusa e diminuta do tema, quanto a quase inexistente previsão infraconstitucional, além dos já citados fatores sociais e econômicos, que, na realidade brasileira atual, necessitam de maior desenvolvimento para que possam permitir um avanço das práticas democráticas no país

In order to fulfill this constitutional aspiration under the scope of citizenship and the democratic rule of law, it is essential to consider the concept of citizenship and the analysis of citizen s initiative in the federal, state, district. The legal system points out to the fundamental principle of citizenship and the democratic rule of Law, communicating constitutional laws implied in the process of the exercise of citizenship, disseminating them throughout the legal system. Based on the idea of principle, this paper analyzes citizen s initiative expressed in the federal, state and municipal realms in order to sustain the feasibility of the right to exercise this fundamental political right in the lawmaking process for constitutional amendments. In order to do that, in the light of constitutional law, there is the need to recognize the innate citizen as the only one entitled to propose and initiate amendments to the Constitution. In this sense, constitutional law is an open inter-text and the study of history is fundamental, because without it human beings would never have found conditions to evolve. For this reason, the path to understand citizen s initiative should consider the Brazilian constitutional history, especially the review of the Assembly s annals of the 1987 National Constitution Assembly in order to evaluate and challenge the writing of the constitutional and infra-constitutional laws related to citizen s initiative in order to demonstrate, by the interpretation of constitutional laws, that innate citizens have the possibility of exercising their political fundamental right in relation to the lawmaking process and constitutional amendments / O objetivo deste trabalho centraliza-se na reflexão do exercício do direito político fundamental de iniciativa popular das leis prevista na Constituição brasileira de 1988. Para alcançar o significado desiderato constitucional, sob o prisma da cidadania, torna-se mister a perseguição do conceito de cidadão e a análise da iniciativa popular nas esfera federal, estadual, distrital, municipal e, caso haja no futuro, no território federal. O sistema jurídico aponta a observância dos princípios fundamentais da soberania popular, do Estado Democrático de Direito e da cidadania, informando as normas constitucionais implicadas em processo do exercício da cidadania e disseminando por todo ordenamento jurídico. Partindo da ideia de sistema, analisa-se a iniciativa popular de lei no âmbito federal, estadual e municipal para sustentar a viabilidade do exercício desse direito político fundamental no processo legislativo de Emenda à Constituição. Para esse enfrentamento à luz do Direito Constitucional brasileiro, há necessidade de reconhecimento do cidadão nato, como único legitimado a propor e a iniciar o processo legislativo de Emenda à Constituição. O Direito Constitucional é intertexto aberto e, nesse sentido, o estudo da história é fundamental, pois sem ela o cidadão jamais teria encontrado condições para evoluir. Por isso, o caminho a ser trilhado é o entendimento da iniciativa popular de lei passa pela história constitucional brasileira, em especial pela análise dos Anais da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte de 1987

[pt] Na experiência constitucional brasileira, a efetivação de um processo de transição política, do regime autoritário instalado pelos militares em 1964, para uma nova ordem democrática, exigiu a convocação de uma Assembleia Nacional Constituinte. Todas as discussões acerca das regras regimentais e da nova Constituição se configuraram na tensão então existente entre o bloco conservador (majoritário) e o progressista (minoritário). Não obstante uma enorme resistência da ala conservadora, as normas regimentais acabaram prestigiando a participação popular no processo de elaboração da Constituição, especialmente através da realização de audiências públicas e a apresentação de sugestões e de emendas populares ao projeto de constituição. Mecanismos de participação popular direta também foram contemplados na Constituição da República de 1988, visando romper definitivamente com o monopólio dos representantes eleitos no que diz respeito à atividade legislativa e às decisões políticas, impondo e prestigiando o exercício da soberania popular. Sem desconsiderar outras formas de participação popular nas decisões políticas, serão privilegiados o plebiscito, o referendo e a iniciativa popular legislativa e constitucional. Esta tese avaliará o processo de transformação experimentado pela Assembleia Nacional Constituinte, enfocando as mudanças institucionais e as influências que culminaram na adoção, tanto no regimento interno quanto no texto final da Constituição da República de 1988, de mecanismos de participação popular direta mais voltados para o perfil das propostas do bloco progressista. / [en] In the Brazilian constitutional experience, the realization of a political transition, from the authoritarian regime installed by the militaries in 1964 to a new democratic order, demanded the convocation of a National Constituent Assembly. All discussions about the procedural rules and the new constitution took shape in the then existing tension between the conservative bloc (majority) and progressive (minority). Despite a huge conservative wing of the resistance, the regimental standards just honoring the popular participation in the process of drafting the constitution, especially through the holding of public hearings and the submission of popular suggestions and amendments to the draft constitution. Direct popular participation mechanisms were also included in the Constitution of the Republic of 1988, aiming to finally break the monopoly of elected representatives with regard to legislative activity and policy decisions, imposing and honoring the exercise of popular sovereignty. This thesis will evaluate the transformation process experienced by the National Constituent Assembly, focusing on the institutional changes and influences that culminated in the adoption, in the bylaws as well as the final text of the Constitution of 1988, direct popular participation mechanisms more focused on the profile of the proposals of the progressive bloc.

Le référendum d’initiative populaire est souvent mentionné dans les réformes envisageables pour répondre à la « crise de la représentation ». Régulièrement utilisée dans quelques États occidentaux dont le régime est par ailleurs représentatif, cette procédure est donc assez bien connue. Pour autant, elle n’existe toujours pas en droit interne, et la tentative d’instauration envisagée lors de la révision constitutionnelle de 2008 s’est soldée par un échec puisqu’elle n’a abouti qu’à l’introduction d’un nouveau référendum « d’en haut ». L’objet de la thèse est de prendre au sérieux la question de l’incorporation d’un processus d’initiative populaire dans l’ordonnancement constitutionnel de la Ve République. Pour ce faire, elle vise à établir une proposition qui pourrait servir de modèle, au sens où elle serait susceptible d’inspirer une éventuelle intégration. Une telle démarche permet de mettre en évidence les interrogations que peut soulever l’introduction d’une telle procédure dans nos institutions et, en s’efforçant d’y répondre, de souligner qu’elles peuvent être résolues. Evidemment, la proposition ne fonctionne que dans les limites de l’hypothèse qui en fournit le cadre. Pour qu’elle conserve malgré tout son intérêt, elle est établie à partir du droit positif. Le droit interne fournit l’essentiel de la substance, il soutient l’ossature de toutes les hypothèses retenues et ce quel que soit le degré de transformation dont il fait l’objet. Le droit étranger permet les alternatives, les atténuations et les créations. La démarche peut contribuer à conférer un certain réalisme au résultat obtenu, et se présente comme un facteur de sa cohérence. La circonstance qu’elle ait été possible appuie le postulat général de la thèse selon lequel la transposition du droit existant à l’encadrement de l’initiative populaire favorise son institutionnalisation. / Popular initiative is often mentioned as one of the potential answers of the “crisis” of representative democracy. Frequently used in some western states even though their political regime is representative democracy, the initiative process is consequently well-known. Such initiative process does not exist already in french constitutionnal law, and the last attempt was a failure since it came down to the implementation of a top-down procedure. The purpose of this thesis relates to the instauration of an initiative process in the french constitution. As a postulate, it allows to establish a proposal which could be used as a model, an inspiration source for a potential real instauration. Such approach makes possible to highlight all the questions marks that an introduction of a popular initiative may arise. Trying to answer those questions, we may enlighten the fact that it could be resolved. Obviously, the proposal operates only in the limits of the assumption that it is at its origin. In order to keep its interest, it is going to be based on the positive law. The internal law gives to the proposal its basis, the others coutries’s law is used to adapt the intern law to the initiative’s own dynamic. This method may help to hold the proposal into a realistic framework. The fact that it is possible to follow this path accentuates the value of the general postulate on which the thesis relies.
