Summary: |
This article intends to discuss Brazilian judicial review from the standpoint of deliberative (or procedural) democracy and constitutionalism. It focuses first on the relation between procedural democracy and judicial review stressing the role of the latter in defining and protecting basic rights in order to guarantee the democratic procedure.
