Arendt's main criticisms of the US Constitution. According to her, the founders, overly concerned with the stability of the new republic and with the emphasis on representative government, ended up not providing adequate public spaces for political freedom and broad and plural popular participation. The consequences were bureaucratization, the concentration of power and the depoliticization of the political body that could lead the republic to degeneration and the replacement of power by violence and domination. As remedies for these ills, we argue that the author resorts to the Jeffersonian ideal of elementary republics as well as the system of revolutionary self-management councils as measures for the regeneration of public freedom and the republic's vitality. En este artículo enumeramos las principales críticas de H. Arendt a la Constitución estadounidense. Según ella, los padres fundadores, excesivamente preocupados por la estabilidad de la nueva república y el énfasis en el gobierno representativo, acabaron por no proporcionar espacios públicos adecuados para la libertad política y la participación popular amplia y plural. Las consecuencias fueron la burocratización, la concentración de poder y la despolitización del cuerpo político, que podrían llevar a la república a la degeneración y a la sustitución del poder por la violencia y la dominación. Como remedios a estos males, argumentamos que el autor recurre al ideal jeffersoniano de repúblicas elementales, así como al sistema de consejos revolucionarios de autogestión como medidas para regenerar la libertad pública y revitalizar la república. Nesse artigo, elencamos as principais críticas de H. Arendt à Constituição Norte-americana. Segundo ela, os fundadores, demasiadamente preocupados com a estabilidade da nova república e com a ênfase no governo representativo, acabaram não fornecendo os adequados espaços públicos destinados à liberdade política e à ampla e plural participação popular. As consequências foram a burocratização, a concentração do poder e a despolitização do corpo político que podem conduzir a república à degeneração e à substituição do poder pela violência e dominação. Como remédios para esses males, argumentamos que a autora recorre ao ideal jeffersoniano de repúblicas elementares bem como ao sistema de conselhos revolucionários de autogestão como medidas de regeneração da liberdade pública e revitalização da república.
