On the eve of the thirtieth anniversary of the Constitution, it is urgent to take stock of this reality. The 1988 Constitution structures the welfare state model with a view to eradicating inequalities based, above all, on the strengthening of the social order and the protection of human rights. In this sense the prospective meaning of the constituent project arises. There is, in 1988, a desire for a constitution that is not exhausted in that space-time, as a driving force, directing the constitutional narrative. However the constitutional architecture of power (casa de máquinas) has remained the same. Thus, Brazilian social constitutionalism is ambivalent, since, at the same time that it bets on rights, it does not alter the structure of state power able to do so. With this normative background, the idea of this panel is to answer: How are we 30 years later?
