"The Brazilian Constitution of 1934: A Product of the Historical Context of the Interwar Period (1920s and 1930s)".
1934 Constitution, Provisional Government, Social Movements.
The Brazilian Constitution of 1934, as a product of the historical context of the 1920s and 1930s, steeped in inherent concerns within Getúlio Vargas provisional government as an aggregator of often conflicting interests, especially regarding the aspirations of social classes and dominant political groups of the time, such as the regional oligarchies of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio Grande do Sul, emerges in the interwar context. From its text, it can be seen the influence of the Weimar Republic Constitution (Germany), as well as the constitutions of Mexico (1917) and Spain (1931), addressing the agendas of social movements, albeit against the privileged opinion of the time, without, however, departing from liberal ideals. Thus, this study aims to explore how the effervescence of these revolutionary movements primarily rooted in the workers' cause, as well as the inherent concerns of Getúlio Vargas' provisional government, contributed to the extension of rights resulting from its promulgation.
