Precatórios na História.: De antes do Brasil Colônia até a Constituição de 1988. (Precatórios e Requisições de Pequeno Valor Livro 2)

“Precatórios” is the name in Portuguese of a part of the enforcement process of a judgment in which there was a conviction of the Public Power to pay a sum in cash.
This book deals with the historical evolution of the “precatórios” in Brazil, beginning a little before the colonial period, passing through the Empire and ending in the Republic.
Here we analyze ancient texts of the Tower of Tombo of Portugal, rare books of the Federal Senate of Brazil, annals of the constituents, from the imperial, although it ended up closed, until 1987 and respective Constitutions and laws, analyzing the facts occurred in relation to what happens now.
This history is very illustrative of what has been our “rule of law” system, respect for the Judiciary and citizens by the holders of power in our country.
Edmund Burke rightly said, “A people who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it.” By this sentence we perceive the importance of the knowledge that is brought here, especially so that the events that have plagued Brazil about the “precatórios” may one day stop repeating themselves.
