This article discusses the concept of constitutional patriotism. Opposing itself to the traditional notion of nationalism, it emphasizes the idea of constitution as a link among citizens based on the presuppositions of the Democratic state of rights as well as in the Human Rights. It defends everyone’s participation in the democratic life with equality of rights based on a universalist perspective within a society with different forms of life. It also analyses in which aspects the concept is productive for the Brazilian reality.
