If you believe that in this country, even under conditions of democracy, those in power will ever regard you as a free man or woman; if you believe that a Constitution is made to protect the rights of the people against discretionary power; if you believe that Constitutional Law experts will ever be on your side against the abuses of power; if you believe all this, you might as well face up to reality:
"Cidadãos são os membros do Estado, da Civitas, os destinatários da ordem jurídica estatal, os sujeitos e os súbditos do poder".
(Jorge Miranda, Manual de Direito Constitucional, Tomo III, op. cit., p. 88; emphasis added)
