Abstract

The concept of people can be understood from three perspectives: political, legal, and sociological. In a democracy, the people are the legitimate source of power, exercised in their name. The Democratic State of Law, in turn, preserves institutional frameworks, ensuring the separation of powers and their free exercise, as outlined in the Constitution. No country is immune to the spread of authoritarian practices, which can emerge in various forms, potentially culminating in violent attempts to abolish the Democratic State of Law and stage a coup d'état. These practices are considered criminal under Brazilian criminal law. This article addresses these issues through qualitative and quantitative research, exploring specialized literature and analyzing a criminal investigation before the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF), highlighting the risks of authoritarian practices against democracy stemming from democratically elected governments.
