This research focuses on the analysis of important themes in the study of Law, particularly in the development of the Brazilian State: education, citizenship and The Democratic Rule of Law. Education, a fundamental social right, is the pillar of all rights in society and traces a path towards human dignity. Once education as a right is not strongly promoted, an individual’s personal, social and political needs cannot be catered for. Citizenship, viewed as a possible intervention in the State decisions, was outlined in the Constitution of 1988 with active courses of action, namely the plebiscite, the referendum, the popular legislative initiative and popular action. The Democratic Rule of Law is the key principle in Brazil, which sharpens the focus of this research. It is virtually impossible to put citizenship into practice and, subsequently, endeavor The Democratic Rule of Law to take root without quality education, as stated in the constitutional text, which is based on the full development of the individual, citizenship awareness and qualification for the labor market. In order to address the question raised in this investigation, a documentary and bibliographical research was done. In the light of the premises found in the study, as far as education, democracy and The Democratic Rule of Law are concerned, aligned with the citizen’s active participation, it seems non-viable to consider citizenship on the grounds of the aforementioned democratic rule except for education which paves the way for full citizenship
