COVID-19: a critical analysis of the constitutional division of powers

Abstract

COVID-19 shall have unprecedented consequences. The Law needs to be able to present satisfactory solutions for a moment of crisis like this. Brazil, similar to what has been happening in several other countries, has been adopting measures to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, observing the constitutional division of legislative and administrative powers. On the one hand, this article aims to present the power distribution of such constitutional competences and, on the other hand, to critically analyze whether such a constitutional arrangement of legislative and administrative functions is satisfactory in coping with the crisis caused by COVID-19.
