Abstract

The impeachment in Brazil in the Constitution of 1824 owned its roots in the English model. In the Brazilian Constitution of 1891, the influence of the institute of impeachment of the United States became visible . Thus, the proximity and the distance between the institute in Brazil and in the US will be analyzed by checking its nature and its connection to the public opinion with the aim of better understanding the discussion regarding the characteristics of this institute.
