Transformation of economy directed to growth and social progress from the perspective of the 1988 Federal Constitution

Abstract

The present article is about the necessity of positive action of the Democratic Constitutional State, with dignity and transparency, in the economical and social orders, as, in its ample exercise of sovereignty, the State has the means to establish effective public policies and invest qualitatively in the intent to prospectively build up a free, just and solidary society; guarantee national development; eradicate poverty and marginalization, diminishing social differences as well as promoting the well-being of all, as art 3o, incision III of the Federal Constitution enforces. Therefore, to the limits of principles and constitutional rules, it should intervene to an ever increasing degree in the legal relations in such a way that the structural transformations of the economy focus primarily on the social progress of the nation as the very end of the so much desired development. Thus, it should validate the fundamental rights of each citizen, mainly through labor as a predominant means of assuring the right to life with dignity.
