A suspensão do direitos políticos dos condenados criminalmente: uma análise principiológica de seus efeitos extrapenais

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the suspension of the political rights of criminally convicted people, provided for in art.15, II of the 1988 Federal Constitution, as it is a law that has repercussions outside the criminal sphere. However, we will highlight the historical evolution of political rights, as well as their dubious relationship with the guiding principles of Brazilian law, established by the constitution itself, such as the principle of proportionality and the dignity of the human person. Finally, it criticizes the social and anti-democratic effects that the measure of suspension of political rights can generate for the individual, as well as demonstrating proposals to change the constitutional provision on the subject.
