Abstract

The objective of this article is to discuss the existence in the Brazilian legal system of a constituent power related to the legislation of the Municipalities. Using the qualitative method and the techniques of documentary and bibliographic research, the concepts of original constituent power and secondary constituent power are presented. Then, the constituent secondary power from the Member States and the Federal District are discussed, opposing to the majority and minority visions about the possibility of the existence of the constituent secondary power from the Municipalities. In the end, there is a questioning about the arguments used by those who do not recognize this power, and, using the federative principle and the principle of symmetry, it may be possible to conclude that the constituent secondary power  from the Municipalities derives from the original constituent power.
