CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERATIVE REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL, 1988


PREAMBLE

We, the representatives of the Brazilian People, convened in the National Constituent Assembly to institute a Democratic State, for the purpose of ensuring the exercise of social and individual rights, liberty, security, well-being, development, equality and justice as supreme values of a fraternal, pluralist and unprejudiced society, founded on social harmony and committed, in the internal and international orders, to the peaceful settlement of disputes, promulgate, under the protection of God, this CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERATIVE REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL.



Brazil doesn´t have an official religion; because of this, there was some discussion among constituents about the inclusion of the text "under the protection of God" (which was included).
The words CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERATIVE REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL appear in capital letters in the original printing of the text; nowhere else in the text are there words written fully in capitals.
