National Constituent Assembly of Brazil

The National Constituent Assembly of Brazil was a special legislative body convened in 1987-1988 to draft a new constitution, replacing the military dictatorship era. Comprised of elected representatives from various regions and political backgrounds, its goal was to create a democratic framework that ensured civil rights, social justice, and political stability. The assembly debated and approved key principles, ultimately resulting in the 1988 Constitution, which remains Brazil's foundational legal document, shaping the nation's governance, citizens' rights, and social responsibilities.
