Os public officials in Brazil, from their colonisation until 1988, were trained by people who were generally unprepared for their functions. The political and party interest, friendships and favouritism required these tables to be filled in. No other criteria were met; there was even control over the actions of those officials. The first indications of control came from Article 113 of the 1934 Constitution, which established the legitimacy of any citizen seeking the annulment of acts detrimental to the patrimony of the Union, States and Municipalities. The 1946 Constitution extended the provisions of the 1934 Decree, which also introduced the control of local authorities and semi-public companies. It also provided for the seqüestro and the confiscation of assets derived from unlawful enrichment, through abuse of office or public service, or employment in a local authority. Chapter VII of the Federal Constitution, dealing with the organisation of the State, dedicates Chapter VII to the superior administration, on the basis of the principles of legality, impersonality, morality, publicity and, now, efficiency. On the basis of the Magna Charter and Supplementary Laws Nos 8.112/90 and 8.429/92, this work briefly looks at administrative bias.
