Abstract
Our journey ends in Brazil. According to textbooks on constitutional history, this recently-declared "periphery" country looked with envy at the European and North American constitutional innovations, while trying to maintain its own identity. Olhos na Europa, pes na America? Doubtlessly, it is still necessary to measure the extent of this "Europe", admired in both space and time. The doctrine criticizing the granted Constitution of 1824, rated as nominal, had hidden the reality for too long; that is, a unique constitutionalism, involving both social and institutional engineering, therefore it is not reducible to the modern constitutionalism. The political agents of Brazil, Catholics and legal experts, endowed with a solid Roman culture, could not deny all the lessons delivered by the mos maiorum and by the medieval constitutionalism, based, according to them, on the fear of God, good virtues and the maintenance of a mixed government.
