Abstract

This paper redeems scholarly understandings of time until the emergence of time as a social institution, as referred by François Ost. Based on this conception, the characteristics of four main moments, during the period stemming from the civil-military coup and the constitutional democracy in Brazil, are approached. In conclusion, transitional process in Brazil is a late and unfinished process. At the time that the Federal Constitution is completing more than thirty years old, is urgent to get back to constitutional transitional process, in order to avoid problems in Democratic Rule of Law in Brazil.
