As constituições democráticas brasileiras e a representação política

A representação política é essencialmente uma relação entre representante e representado. A natureza dessa relação variou ao longo do tempo e assumiu diferentes formatos políticos e institucionais. Pitkin, ao abordar essas variações e sistematizar o tema da representação política, fornece instrumentos que permitem uma reflexão sobre as experiências de representação inscritas nas Cartas Constitucionais democráticas do Brasil de 1934, 1946 e 1988. Reflexão essa que, complementada à luz do pensamento de teóricos da representação política como Guizot, Mill e Manoïlesco, permitem observar que a representação, além de ser uma relação entre representante e representado, é também um fenômeno que envolve, no Estado Moderno, a questão do governo da nação e da incorporação dos valores democráticos, materializados, em parte, sob a forma do voto, das eleições, como participação indireta, e em parte, sob a forma da participação não-eleitoral, a partir de outros formatos institucionais.
