%X I would like in this Hausarbeit to demonstrate, with a background from  Arend Lijphart`s arguments, stated in  the book „Patterns of Democracy. Government Forms and Performance in Thirty-Six Countries“, if Brazil it is or not a consensualist democracy. Arend Lijphart considers that each system  of government can receive one of the next attributes: majoritarian or consensualist. He gives ten  opposite criteria, on two dimensions, on which can extend the two types of democracy (majoriatrian and consensualist). I intend to make a logical digest, searching  each of this criterion on Brazil`s case. At the end, after considering all ten criteria, I  will be able to say if Federative Republic of Brazil it`s a consensualist democracy or not.
