Resumen
Bajo el derecho constitucional, el ejercicio de cualquier poder político implica limitaciones, porque este es un requisito de la idea del constitucionalismo liberal moderno. En este trabajo, abordé las discusiones sobre las limitaciones materiales del poder de reforma constitucional en Brasil. Al preguntar “hasta qué punto es inmodificable la Constitución brasileña”, demostré el comportamiento judicial de la Corte Suprema brasileña al revisar las reformas constitucionales. Sin embargo, antes de introducir ese enfoque, presenté lo que el poder constituyente y las reformas constitucionales representan teórica y empíricamente en Brasil. En conclusión, la inmodificabilidad brasileña cubre un amplio espectro de disposiciones constitucionales (horizontalmente) con un nivel intermedio de libertad para cambiar (verticalmente). Al prohibir la abolición de las disposiciones constitucionales irreformables, la inmodificabilidad en Brasil está conectada con la preservación del proyecto general expresado por la Constitución de 1988, pero dejando la apertura para las decisiones políticas contingentes.
