Abstract

The present study intends to adjudge the definition of the constitutional presumptions of relevance and urgency in provisional measures under social and political perspectives. Prescribed in Article 62 of the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, interim measures are an instrument of exceptionality to be used by the Head of the Executive Branch to edit standards with status of law for situations of relevance which demand urgency. This paper draws attention to the monitoring of compliance with these requisites in the current timeframe and, consequently, the proper use of this normative instrument, considering the contumacious diagnostic that the legislative authority from the Executive Branch of this body is somehow misused as a governmental instrument.

Keywords: Constitution. Society. Provisional Measures. Relevance. Urgency.
