The difficulty of implementation of the 1988 Constitution is a worrying issue, especially when taking into account the sharp inequality faced by Brazilian society. In Brazil there is a narrow and exclusionary realization of constitutional provisions. In an attempt to get a new look at the old problem, this paper aims to analyze the feasibility of the theory of symbolic constitutionalization,  formulated  by  Marcelo  Neves,  to  explain  the  current  moment experienced by the Brazilian society. From a rereading of the systems theory of Luhmann, Marcelo Neves proposes a new model, adapted to the specificities of peripheral countries, in which  Brazil  stands  out  as  clear  example.  In  the  scholar  mentioned  vision,  countries belonging to the peripheral modernity there is a permanent and structural blockage of achieving the legal-constitutional programs for injunction other systemic code, hence why inclusive constitutions opposed to an exclusive reality. As a result of this situation, it would not be possible to sustain the existence of the autonomy of the legal system, hence why Neves will be complete the right one allopoietic system, marked by interference from other systems, especially politics. One indication of this situation would be checked by analysis of three fundamental constitutional principles: the constitutional legal regulation of the electoral procedure, the separation of powers and respect for fundamental rights and guarantees. In the present study aimed to weave an overview of the current stage of development of these constitutional  pillars,  to  the  end  check  the  adequacy  of  the  theory  of  symbolic constitutionalization to explain the contemporary Brazilian society.
