SUMMARY:

The dissertation analyzes the constitutional role of the Armed Forces in the Brazilian legal system, with emphasis on the interpretation of Article 142 of the Federal Constitution of 1988, investigating whether there would be an implicit attribution of a moderating function to the Armed Forces. The research adopts a methodology that combines historical, theoretical, and comparative analysis, examining the evolution of civil-military relations in Brazil from the imperial period to the current constitutional order. In this context, the work examines the historical and theoretical foundations of the military issue in Brazil; analyzes the role of the Armed Forces in the current constitutional system; and develops a comparative analysis with the experiences of Argentina and Portugal, followed by a conclusive interpretation on the constitutional impossibility of attributing a moderating function  2  to the Armed Forces. The study covers the classical theories of neutral power, the concept of the "military moderating standard" in civil-military relations, and reflections on the state of exception and sovereignty. The research concludes that any attempt to assign a moderating military function is absolutely incompatible with the Democratic State of Law established by the Federal Constitution of 1988, demonstrating that the interpretation of Article 142 must recognize the Armed Forces as an institution subordinated to civilian power and destined for specific and limited purposes.
