    A pesar de que tradicionalmente ha existido y se ha desarrollado un modelo de control difuso de constitucionalidad, la evolución de la justicia constitucional en los últimos cincuenta años en Brasil se ha destacado por una progresiva expansión de instrumentos que atribuyen directamente a la Suprema Corte la función de admitir y decidir sobre la contradicción entre las leyes y la Constitución. Lo que empezó como una forma de controlar el sistema federativo durante el régimen militar en los años 1960, ha ganado una fuerte dimensión institucional en el modelo constitucional brasileño, en general bajo el discurso de que la concentración de la justicia constitucional en el Supremo Tribunal Federal sirve para tornar más efectivos los derechos fundamentales de los ciudadanos. A partir de los datos recogidos en la investigación “A quem interessa o controle concentrado de constitucionalidade?” y del repaso sobre la historia del modelo de justicia constitucional del país, incluso durante el proceso constituyente entre 1986 y 1988, este artículo intenta hacer una demostración de varios problemas que se han desarrollado en la práctica del control de constitucionalidad hacia la perspectiva de la efectividad de los derechos fundamentales en Brasil.
