O bacharel em direito como o homem público brasileiro

Abstract

Law bachelors are, and always have been, the most widely represented class in brazilian politics. The constitution of the House of Representatives throughout history has reflected this reality since the Empire. This representation has varied, however, during the last two centuries and especially after the 1988 Constitution. The following article intends to show that the representation of law bachelors in national politics, which can be measured by the number of members of the House of Representatives who have careers in Law, is related to the adoption of college education policies by different governments throughout almost two centuries.
