Constituições estaduais pós-1989: o processo de emendamento e seus determinantes / State Constitutions post-1989: the amendment process and its causesBellon, Gabriel Luan Absher 21 December 2015 (has links)
Esta dissertação pretende contribuir para o conhecimento de dimensões pouco estudadas do processo político estadual, especialmente a política constitucional nos estados brasileiros. Propomos estudar então o processo de emendamento às Constituições Estaduais. Para tanto levantamos os textos das Constituições Estaduais promulgadas após 1989 e suas emendas aprovadas entre 1989 e 2014. A partir dos dados levantados desenvolvemos uma análise descritiva das Constituições e das Emendas aprovadas com o objetivo de identificar padrões e características do constitucionalismo estadual. Além da análise descritiva também comparamos três unidades de medida de extensão constitucional, a quantidade de artigos, de palavras e de dispositivos. Nas análises descritivas encontramos variabilidade tanto na extensão Constitucional quanto no tamanho do emendamento. A fim de identificar fenômenos associados à variabilidade no emendamento desenvolvemos uma análise simplificada em que optamos por modelos estáticos e bivariados. Dentre os testes efetuados destacamos três resultados. A constitucionalização de políticas públicas parece afetar significativamente o emendamento de forma que parte do processo legislativo utiliza a alteração constitucional para avançar a agenda. A maior fragmentação do sistema político leva a aprovação de emendas mais extensas. E finalmente que parte do emendamento às Constituições Estaduais é explicado pelas alterações efetuadas à Constituição Federal. / Our main purpose in this masters thesis is advancing the research on Brazilians state politics not yet adequately studied, mainly the state constitutional policy. Therefore, we intend an analysis on the amendment process of state Constitutions. Our first step was gathering the state Constitutions and their amendments between 1989 and 2014 and performing an exploratory descriptive analysis. Along with the descriptive analysis, we perform comparisons amongst three methods of measuring constitutional length, the number of articles, number of words and number of constitutional provisions. As a result of the exploratory analysis, we found considerable variability on state constitutional and amendment length. In order to identify possible phenomena related to amendment variability we perform a simplified analysis based on static and bivariate models. Amongst the performed tests, three results are noteworthy. The amount of public policies on Constitutional texts seem to increase the amendment. Higher party system fragmentation correlates with lengthier approved amends. Lastly, the state constitutional change shows an echo of the Federal Constitutional amendments.

Civics in American Public Schools: State Constitutions and the Right to an EducationHarris, Carissa Joan-Zall 05 August 2013 (has links)
A literal reading of the United States Constitution finds no mention of education. Because no fundamental federal mandate exists to provide public education for citizens, the Tenth Amendment gives states the authority for public education policy. Because states have different constitutional standards for education, civics requirements have little national consistency. This thesis explores the connections between state constitutional provisions for public education and graduation requirements for civics in each state. The research examined how state constitutions address education policy and whether states with language specifically connecting education to the maintenance of democracy required more stringent civics requirements for students to graduate from secondary school. Further investigation explored whether and how state constitutions in Minnesota and Wisconsin appeared to influence the development of graduation requirements. Indeed, Minnesota, whose constitution connects education to the maintenance of democracy, had a curriculum policy process far more rooted in its constitutional traditions than did Wisconsin, which had no such constitutional language or curriculum process. / Master of Arts

Constitutional Change in Texas During the Reconstruction, 1865-1876Carrier, John Pressley 08 1900 (has links)
In the decade following the Civil War the Texas political scene was dominated by revisionist activity with regard to the state's constitution. In that period the organic law of the state was altered three times, twice because of the exigencies of National Reconstruction and a third time to satisfy the retrenchment impulses partially stimulated by the Reconstruction experiment. None of the three constitutions written during this ten year period can be properly understood in isolation from the other two, nor can any of them be correctly interpreted separate from the serious post-war political, social, and economic issues faced by the entire nation. Hence, a uniform study of the three constitutions in their local context and their relations to national problems of the period provides a field of significant research and evaluation. It is the purpose of this study to analyze the constitutional changes of the Reconstruction era in Texas in their historical perspective, giving special attention to both the internal political structures and the socio-economic considerations dominant during that period.
