The constitutional amendment 64: legislative reflections regarding the state of São Paulo

Abstract

The Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil completes 30 years in 2018. It is known as the Citizen Constitution for symbolizing Brazil's return to democracy, expressly guaranteeing a series of fundamental social rights. The purpose of this project is to: a) Map and seek to understand federal and state legislation regarding the right to food; b) To analyze the impact of constitutional amendment no. 64/2010 on the basis of changes in the legislation on public policies in the State of São Paulo; c) We intend to collaborate with the reflection on the constitutional legislative effectiveness and look for elements to identify if the amendments that alter the constitutional text are used as a way to generate new rights or also as a way to strengthen the existing ones.
