Direito Constitucional

Direito Constitucional, or Constitutional Law, is the branch of law that focuses on the fundamental rules and principles that govern a country. It defines the structure of government, the distribution of powers among different branches (executive, legislative, judiciary), and protects citizens' basic rights and freedoms. Essentially, it sets the legal framework for how a country operates and ensures that governmental actions comply with the constitution. It acts as a safeguard for democracy, individual rights, and the rule of law, providing stability and order within the state.
