Abstract

The present work aims to analyse the constitutionality of racial quotas at Brazilian public universities, considering the accusation of non-compliance with fundamental precepts (ADPF) 186. From that, democracy was problematized and then this text sought to understand how a affirmative actions are connected with a democracy system and with the Brazilian legal system.
