The author starts by informing that his article has its inspiration in the perspective of the modern economic theory that considers State reform as essentially processual. Section 2 establishes the reference of the model of public choices, for the study of the State reform. Section 3 analyzes, under the perspective of the public choices, the major constitutional mechanism: the separation of powers, federalism, bicameralism and independence of the Judiciary. Section 4 deals with the permanence of the Constitution, since a fundamental consequence of the reform of the Brazilian State is institutional stability, in which the economic policy may have its environment. Section 5 is a résumé of the strict conditions under which economic analysis was performed in the previous sections. Section 6 presents the bibliography supporting the institutional economic analysis carried out in the study.
