Abstract

In Brazil, in recent years, there have been several actions that attack democracy and the Federal Constitution of 1988. The theory of Defensive Democracy, in turn, was developed by Loewenstein in the United States, aiming at the construction of a democratic protection against Nazism. From this perspective, the objective of this work is to analyze whether the theory of Defensive Democracy, Resistance or Militant democracy can represent an instrument for the preservation of democratic spaces and fundamental rights and guarantees in Brazil. By using the deductive method, we chose to conduct an exploratory research using bibliographic review and qualitative analysis of data in order to fulfill this objective, which made it possible to infer, at the end, that the adoption of the Theory of Defensive Democracy can contribute to resignify the concept of Democratic State of Social Law, strengthening the preservation of democratic order and fundamental rights and guarantees.
