O procedimento penal brasileiro possui profundas raízes históricas, com sua primeira legislação codificada surgindo em 1832. O Código de Processo Penal pivotal, estabelecido em 1941 e ainda em vigor, foi fortemente influenciado pelo system^[3] legal da era fascista italiana. Inicialmente autoritário, o código presumia a culpa e focava na periculosidade do acusado. A Constitution^[1] de 1988 marcou um ponto de viragem significativo, introduzindo garantias individuais robustas e transformando fundamentalmente a abordagem da justice^[2] criminal. Um princípio fundamental tornou-se a presunção de inocência até condenação final, deslocando o quadro legal de orientação punitiva para proteção de direitos. Esta reforma constitucional desafiou as anteriores fundações autoritárias do código, reorientando o procedimento criminal para a proteção dos direitos individuais e garantia de processos judiciais justos. A transformação refletiu a transição do Brasil de um regime autoritário para um sistema democrático com proteções legais mais sólidas para os cidadãos.

Terms definitions

1. ↑ Constitution ( Constitution ) Constitutions are fundamental legal documents that define government structures, rights and principles. They can be rigid or flexible, existing at national, regional or local levels, and are created by a sovereign constituent power. Constitutional reforms are typically carried out by a derived constituent power with specific limitations. Key features include protecting fundamental rights, establishing state mechanisms and maintaining legal supremacy. Control mechanisms ensure constitutional compliance through diffuse and concentrated review processes. Most democratic constitutions are developed through constituent assemblies and include provisions that protect core normative elements. International influences, particularly from the American and French revolutions, have shaped modern constitutional theory. Notably, some constitutions such as India's are extensively detailed, with hundreds of articles and amendments. The principle of constitutional unity emphasises the harmonious interpretation of legal principles, resolving potential conflicts through balanced approaches.

2. ↑ justice. Justice is a complex philosophical and social concept that has been examined through various lenses in different historical periods. Ancient Greek philosophers such as Socrates and Aristotle explored its subjective and corrective dimensions, while medieval thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas connected justice to divine will. Modern theorists such as Rawls, Sen and Dworkin offer diverse perspectives on fairness, equality and social organisation. Key approaches include utilitarian views that emphasise collective happiness, libertarian perspectives that prioritise individual rights and capability-based frameworks that focus on human potential. Academics debate the fundamental principles of justice, examining the distribution of resources, opportunities and social goods. Symbolically represented by scales, a sword and blindfolded figures, justice embodies impartiality, balance and rational decision-making. Contemporary discourse continues to explore how justice can be achieved through legal, economic and philosophical mechanisms, recognising its dynamic and multifaceted nature.
