Motivações e significados políticos da Candidatura Nata conforme os poderes Legislativo e Judiciário federais

Abstract

Birthright candidate is an institute that provides the right of application to parliamentary election regardless of subsequent approval of his party. It is a constant institution in the political history of Brazil, despite having been subjected to numerous changes. Through observation of the rulings on the matter in the Superior Electoral Court and the Supreme Court, as well as from the Journals of Congress between 1974 and 2010, will observe the trajectory of the birthright candidate institute in the Brazilian legislation, the meaning given in pronouncements of the congress, the grounds on which is discussed, and see the materials with which it is routinely connected. These data demonstrate how the institute is exemplary of the interventions that the higher courts have played in recent years about the definition of electoral rules in Brazil
