The French tradition based the sovereignty of the people on the sovereignty of the parliament, being unthinkable any form of control of the legislative acts. The French Constitutional Council was created, through the 1958 Constitution, with the purpose of safeguarding the powers of the Executive in the face of the acts of the legislator. So the simple creation of the Council has already represented a paradigm shift. In the 1970s, major changes were implemented by the 1971 Council decision and the constitutional revision of 1974. They were essential in the evolutionary leap of the process of constitutionalisation of law in France. Before, the Civil Code was seen as the French Constitution, because its stability was much greater than that experienced in French constitutionalism. Thus, the Constitutional Council stands as a body that controls the constitutionality of laws, an authentic Constitutional Court. It was different from the other Constitutional Courts and Supreme Courts, for only providing for a constitutional control prior to the enactment of laws, the application of the regulations of the National Assembly and the Senate, the ratification of international commitments. A posteriori control was only inserted in the Constitution in 2008 and implemented in 2010. The French tradition based on the private law and the lack of control after the enactment of the laws, differentiating it from the North American and German system, made Luís Roberto Barroso assert that in the French system a true constitutional jurisdiction does not exist. Many brazilian doctrinators follow the same position as Barroso. Such an affirmation is the object of this study, whose purpose is to ascertain its veracity by analyzing the Constitutional Council - its composition, functions and decisions; and the characteristics of the models of constitutional jurisdiction pointed out by the doctrine - the North American and the European model. This study will also analyze the characteristics of a constitutional jurisdiction and doctrinal classifications, since the typological method will be used. The sources will be the bibliographic review and the French legal provisions. It will carried out A simple random sample analysis of Council decisions.
