This research analyses the constituent process of 1946 to 1988 in Brazil concerning the role of Congress in Foreign Policy. In 1946 the National Constituent Assembly did not receive great interest from congressmen; however in 1988 many deputies had significant roles in that process. This finding is related to the historical process concerned with Brazil's path to democracy while its hierarchical congress structure was maintained by the Constituent Assembly of 1988.
